Star wars lore is a hot mess.

I could never take this franchise history serious.

Did the prophecy say Anakin would bring balance to the Force forever?

The problem is that according to the ST he never brought balance at all. Palpatine and Snoke were around the entire time.

What's the source on Palpatine being around at all, and Snoke being around causing imbalance?
Even so, there could have been balance with them being alive, as long as they're not doing anything bad.

Snoke is a powerful dark side user and the dark side is a cancer upon the Force. Thats why killing Palpatine was supposed to balance the Force.

Palpatine may or may not be back, but the implication is that he is in some form.

Was he a powerful dark side user during RotJ?

If Palpatine is back (which, let's be fair, he very well might not be), that doesn't mean that he was around all the time. Furthermore, he could just as well have been around in a sort of Sauron-like weakened state, trying to recover.

According to one of the recent canon novels Palpatine felt Snokes presence in the outer rim briefly.

Well it slightly more complicated than that.

Palpatine felt a large amount of Dark Force coming from the Unknown Regions. So he set up the Jakku observation station and others to find out. It was never outright stated that Palpatine was sensing Snoke.

Snoke may have been just a Dark Sider resident that they found out there, but the theory was that Palpatine was sensing the "source" of the Dark Side. Like there is a source for the Light Side in the galaxy there had to have been the polar opposite somewhere out there.
