So I tried to root my Pixel 3a, long story short it went into a boot loop, I got it back into fastboot mode, but now my pc can't see it. when using "adb devices" search comes up with zilch. when plugged into the pc it knows it's plugged in but I can't see it. Has anyone else seen this, or possibly know a way to at least get me to where I can flash the stock image on?

You have to use "fastboot" commands in fastboot mode. Like ... "fastboot reboot bootloader" or "fastboot boot namearecovery.img" ... You might be able to boot into TWRP recovery and flash the Magisk uninstaller.
call me noob or insane, but it wasn't working, but then I typed that in and it rebooted into fastboot. Off to try to follow these steps and hopefully get this thing working again.

It wasn't working because you were trying to use adb commands while in fastboot.

Should've checked connected devices when in bootloader mode:
