So I don’t know a ton about music theory, but I’m curious about how this works. Why do our brains like to hear chords that are in tune? And how do we explain why something is tuned properly?

It’s not that certain chords sound better than others but rather combinations of chords do because of “cadence” and “resolution”. There was an ad on youtube for Hans Zimmer teaching masterclass on music writing and he talked about how music is about “question” and “response” – that’s what resolution is about. For example, A7 resolves well to Dm.
