Hey, for some reason when tracking guitar, GarageBand is recording the audio of the click to the main track (the same track as the guitar) and it’s in the playback which is obviously not ideal. How do I turn this off after the fact , but still use the metronome while recording

You should wear headphones while recording the track, so you can hear the metronome in the headphones, but the microphone will not pick up the sound the metronome.
You have to see if your "mix interface" has a monitor output so that you can isolate the metronome from the main mix.
If the guitar is going straight to the mac, why bother with the mixing interface? I think you need to diagram things so you know exactly what is going where. It sounds like the mixing interface is sending a signal back into the Mac that is getting recorded onto the track.
The mixer is getting the metronome from Garageband, mixing it with the guitar and sending it back to Garageband for recording. You need to figure out how to stop that from happening.
I am recording using a small mixing interface, the guitar is going directly into the Mac, and the click audio is recording onto the same track as the guitar. My headphones are plugged into my mix interface
Set up goes guitar - mixer - mac.
when I use the metronome provided by garage band I cannot toggle It on and off with recording, instead the click track signal is being recorded as a part of the guitar track. The two are as one.
