You got it mounted wrong and air got into the pump.
#aio making weird noise

Ya that sound isn’t good. Apparently air in your pump will reduce its lifespan. Ideally what you want is for your radiator to be higher than your pump. I can’t really see if that’s the case from your pictures. Here’s a very simple vid showing what happened to you. Skip to 8:10 https://youtu.be/DKwA7ygTJn0
So if your radiator isn’t higher than the pump, you just need to move the radiator higher. And if it is higher but it’s still making that noise, then you need to work the air out of there like he shows in the vid
Actually, since you said that it didn’t sound like this yesterday, then I’m pretty sure that can only mean that your pump is higher than the radiator. So you just need to move the radiator higher. The higher the better. Like if you could put it at the top and move those fans to the side that would be good
But the video explains it better than me
It’s not that big of a deal, like your thing isn’t defective or anything
But keeping it that way will reduce its lifespan. Bubbling sounds at the radiator is okay, but if it’s at the pump then it’s not good

Some AIO's have the pump inside the RAD. In your case poop, your pump is on the CPU block itself.

Sorry for the late response. I’m gonna flip my rad since you guys suggest it. Thank you. I would mount it about it but I don’t have any space.
I tried to make it look nice but my case doesn’t really have a lot of leeway. What should I do now to help stop the bubbles?
Excuse the uncleanliness. This is as high as my rad can go.

I can mount my rad at the top of my case. But my fans won’t have clearance because of my ram. I can make the one fit and the other have 1 screw but I don’t really trust that

The tubes need to have an upward angle. Then the issue should fix itself quickly.

Sorry I wasn't very clear. But here's probably the best video on this, and it's only a 1:47 minutes. I was gonna try and explain it myself but I think the visuals and whatnot of the video do a better job than I can. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6m9Xhzc6Kw
I know there's sort of conflicting sounding advice here, that's my bad. Just ignore whatever else was told to you and just follow what this video says

For this specific aio, the mounting for the block is meant to be how it is. It’s the Arctic Liquid Cooler ii 240
Could I have my Noctua fans on my rad since they have clearance? Or would it affect it because the fans that come with it are connected to the rad itself

If your other fans are more powerful and compatible with the AIO software, then yes, you can swap them. If they are not compatible, they will only have static speed. [most likely 100%]

Do I need to make the air come out or will it just happen?
native otter
As long as the pipes have a constant upward angle and do not level off or dip down, the air should make its way out of the pump.
