OK so my car started to make a weird rattling/ grinding noise and through testing Ive found that the pulley attached to my ac compressor is not loose but some plates underneath it that seem to go with the compressor are and when i press on the plates they replicate the noise i hear and am not sure what direction i need to go in fixing them

Ok - I'd take belt off so you know exactly which pulley is good. The head of the compressor is both a clutch and a pulley but needs to be right as well. The other would likely be an idler or tensioner pulley. Do use a new quality belt with the fix,
