Well since you ignored important information and questions, I’m not sure it quite makes sense to try and help you diagnose since it’s falling on def ears

none of them are loose i think the cable going to it is damaged as i can shift the transmission from the bottom while it's in park

If you have the wrong gasket it will leak very bad as in putting the reusable gasket on a pan that is made for the cork gasket.
I had to switch to a newer style pan to use the reusable gasket.

I was sad when I saw cork when I did my change because I have a 96 truck, so I also didnt have the filter with the little "legs" on it that ensure it stays retained in the seal o ring thing. But thats okay. I figured even if I had a newer pan to use the elastomeric gasket, Id still eventually want a 4r100 pan with a drain bolt.

If you can do proper shifting at the transmisson then the problem is likely between there and the shifter on the column. If I remember correctly the cable has an adjustment to take up slack or add slack. It's not far from the transmission end. If you've checked things under the dash, consider making some adjustments here. Try to note where you start before turning it so you can put it back if you needed to. Count your turns, that sort of thing.
