When I manually route a path segment, and insert a via by selecting a different layer in the middle a the path route the path appears to be connected between the start and end pad but the rubber band does not dissapear and th eDRC sees it as a dangling path.

How do I get this to route properly?

You've got two issues here, the connection being left, and the 'Dangling Track' report.

Redundant connections can be cleared up by using [Tools], [Optimise Nets], [All Nets]. Any left after this really are needed.

Dangling tracks indicate that one or both ends of a track haven't connected properly, even if they appear to have done so. There's a highlight option under [View], [Display], which can help, and running a connectivity check report will give precise co-ordinates of breaks.

I think that what you'll need to do is turn on Dynamic Optimise in the preferences section.
HTH.

Best wishes,
