I've been trying to get these 2 crafts to rendevouz mid orbit so that I can EVA one kerbin to another craft. I Just cant seem to get it right, I have the orbits super close to each other but I cant figure out how to get the crafts closer to each other in orbit. Any help would be appreciated.

lower your apoapsis to 80km, wait some time, and the point would be probably closer

This is a complete infographic tutorial, full of good to know: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/83437-illustrated-tutorial-for-orbital-rendezvous/
Bottom line: you cannot rendezvous while on the same orbit, you have to be on different orbits so one craft is slower than the other. That orbital speed difference is key so that at some point in the future a hohmann transfer is feasible.
And it usually takes several orbits for 'the time to be right' for a transfer and rendezvous. If you look at the bottom left widget in maneuver node, there's + and - orange buttons to set the maneuver 'one orbit later'. That can help a lot to check how things are in the future.
But do start by changing one ship's orbit a bit to introduce the orbital speed difference.

Thank you so much. I finally figured it out thanks do your instructions, the infographic tutorial was also super helpful. I even managed to dock. Cheers man you really helped me
