Can someone help me understand overtime?

I worked 114 hours on my last paycheck. That’s within a two week pay period. I was expecting 34 hours of overtime because 114-80=34 So I was expecting a very nice paycheck. Well I got my paycheck, and it was about $1k short of what I was anticipating. I looked on the paystub and it says I worked 99 hours at $20/hr and only 15 hours at $30/hr. I was under the impression that anything over 80 hours would’ve been overtime. Am I wrong? I want to get some clarification before I go to HR with questions. I work in Washington state in the United States, if that affects anything. Thanks in advance.
