Edit: Welp, I added an extra set of parentheses around the whole thing and it seems to have fixed things. I'm not really sure I understand why that made a difference, so I'm gonna change my question to that.

The contents of .dir-locals.el is a list (the top level of parentheses after you fixed your file) that can contain multiple mappings (each mapping being your second level of parentheses, a cons of a mode and an association list). What you had in that file before you fixed it was just one mapping. See a clearer example:
