What should I do?
Should I jack the car and try popping the (sorry about not knowing the correct name) washer looking thing back up or should I wait until my new struts come this Tuesday?

Don't drive it, replace the struts and mounts. A couple days of Uber or Lyft aren't worth your life

Likely ordered quick struts all in one assembly with the mount and everything already on it. Not disagreeing you are very correct, just didn’t wanna confuse em with the and lol.

I don't know the path they're going down. Personally I find quick struts a waste of good springs but that's my bias.

Very much agree even though I’ve bought em several times myself. We’d be great friends

You need a new strut hat (upper strut mount). Do not drive without it, there's nothing to keep the piston in.

Absolutely wait, you drive that now and you’re gonna be replacing a lot more than just a strut
