Shifter cables, looks more like it's hitting the lower radiator hose, which is common with a 6 bolt swap.

i’m not sure if it’s a 6 or 7 bolt, i assume it is a 7 bolt as it is a 99gst, i dont believe it was swapped. either way ill need to find a solution

There's usually no interference with a 7 bolt. The coolant pipe and lower rad hose are different with a 6 bolt.

From your picture in your profile it has a 1g intake manifold and looks to be a 1g cas, would be good signs it's been swapped.

First, check the numerous forums about 6 or 7 bolt identification, this subject has been beaten to death.
Anyway, those "things" are your shifter cables. Look at your oil pan to identify whether your car is a 6 or 7 bolt. If the oil pan has a concave (dip) on the driver's side, then it's a 7 bolt. If the oil pan is more squared, then it's a 6 bolt. I believe that the 6 bolt design ended in 1994. The 1995-1999 model years came with the 7 bolt.
The hose that is being rubbed by the shifter cables looks to be your lower radiator hose. One possible solution could be to purchase a pre-formed radiator hose that goes around the shifter cables. Obviously make sure the new radiator hose is the same diameter as the one on your car.

Other way around

Top is a 6 bolt oil pan, bottom is a 7 bolt oil pan. You are incorrect.
