I watch for the rust. I just hit that "bar" by the radiator and it is hard and still little rust. I sprayed this a few years ago with a rust preventative (corrosion X spray can) and it turned the red rust to black color and stopped the rust.

As for the serpentine belt, it is OEM too. When a mechanic was changing my AC compressor I handed him a new belt but he handed it right back and said the OEM was still good!

He handed the new one back and said your OEM belt is OK.
We have a winner.

Imgur: The magic of the Internet Well I have the water pump out and idk why it was leaking, it looks like it was from the passenger side. Maybe cuz I didn’t use oem gasket. I’ll be cleaning the surface and putting in oem parts and torque to spec. Hopefully she holds

From your photo it appears you're not using OEM pink coolant or even a aftermarket equivalent/compatible pink coolant, that green coolant is not compatible for a Toyota engine and or the gaskets/sealants, it could be causing some of the issues you're having.

In addition to flushing out the incorrect coolant and using spec coolant:

1.) Get new o-rings for the water pump and thermostat housing where they slide onto the water pipes on the engine. Be sure to lube with "soapy water" before sliding the water pump on per the shop manual.

2.) Use the correct FIPG seal packing at the flange where the thermostat housing bolts onto the water pump.

3.) Use an accurate torque wrench on all bolts, tightening in steps from the center outward. I usually divide the final torque by 3 and use that as the increment, e.g. for 24 N*m bolts, first pass is 8 N*m, then 16, then 24, and a final pass at 24.

Well I have everything put back together but it’s still leaking from the passenger side. I see coolant dripping from the passenger side radiator support. Made sure to torque everything to spec use oem sealants and parts. But I only had green coolant. I can flush it later but would that really make it leak? What’s the next step here ?

Unfasten the plastic fan shroud and slide it away from the radiator so you can see the radiator surface, especially the area where the radiator core joins the plastic end tanks. I bet you'll find the leak source.

Sorry I thought it was the radiator support but it's actually dripping from the passenger side of the front cross member. But I did check the radiator and didn't see anything.

Do you mean the crossmember which attaches to the engine mounts and steering components?

I'd grab a bottle of UV dye (or the kit shown in this annoying Kilmer video) and find the source:
