I went to put my headlights and trim all back together and I couldn’t find my pictures can someone tell me if this looks right or is the spring upside down. They don’t wanna sit in there straight

The installation looks correct but appears to need adjustment to level off/align the headlights correctly.

I'm going to say your spring is not in the correct pocket. The recess you are in is for the tabs to locate the headlight into the housing.
If memory serves me right the spring follows under the bucket and locates in the pocket marked with the red arrow. It would allow the bucket to sit up off the header panel.

That’s weird those are the ones I took out, ok i’ll see what I can do with that. and also the low beam light has a three prong and the high beam has a two prong but when I bought my LED replacement I can’t find a high beam with a two prong what’s up with that. Really appreciate the input

Just don't use the 3rd pin. The outer lights are high and low; the inners are only high.
