    Hello JordaniMac,

     

    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to add shortcuts to the dock. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

     

    Mac Basics: The Dock holds your favorite apps, documents, and more - Apple Support

    If you want to add an application to the Dock, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock. Then, drag an app icon from the Launchpad to the Dock. The icons in the Dock move aside to make room for the new item. If you want to add a file or folder to the Dock, just drag its icon from any Finder window (or the desktop) and drop it on the Dock.

     

    See if you are able to add items to the dock in safe mode, it may be a program running in the background causing issues.

    Have a nice day
