Funny noise coming from front struts

Well my front struts are making a squeeking noise and other times making a kind of metal rattling sound (sounds like springs aren't tight).
The bolts under the hood are sitting totally inward and looks like it rubs against the rubber bushing when i push down on the car. I have GR2s in the front w/ sprint springs. Im not familiar w/ camber adjustment kits or anything, i was wondering if thats what i need.

thats the strut mounts for what you describe they are very bad my advice is to replace them along with the bearing with oem don't use kyb mounts they are crap also check the rest of your suspension like ball joints control arms bushings sway bar bushings and end links and take yor car for alignmnet also check your tires for abnormal wear
