I know the master said this but isn’t the more likely reason why Ougi put on the hat because his master told him to meaning that if Ougi had no cognitive dissonance he would have still put on the hat? I don’t understand how the master determined that Ougi putting on the hat showed that Ougi had cognitive dissonance.

Well, the master said that wearing the hat is necessary in order to resolve the dissonance. Therefore this seems implausible.
(Ougi is the name of the master in that story.)
