Out of curiosity, are you allowed to prepare a lower level spell in a higher level spot?

Lets say, for instance, that I really want another casting of a 0th level spell. Can I prepare it in a 1st level slot?

If I did, I imagine it would go off as a normal 0th level spell since I didn't use heighten spell, correct?

Thank you for your time.

Yes. It says this in the PHB. And yes, only the spell slot used not the spell level is affected in that.
That is why Heightened Metamagic was created to change DC and effective level.

Yes.

Exactly how you said it is exactly how it works. You can prepare magic missle in a 9th level spell slot if you want to, but it still counts as a 1st level spell.
