I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.
You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

This is what I get, the error msg reads, Hint You should have an img element with an src value of https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/cat-photo-app/relaxing-cat.jpg. You may have accidentally deleted it.
What you need to do instead is put an opening anchor tag <a.....> before the image element and a closing anchor tag </a>after the image element. That turns the image element into a clickable link, because whatever is between the opening and closing anchor tags becomes a link.
I don’t know that ‘go try something else and then come back’ is the most helpful advice. It’s useful advice, sure, but not exactly targeted to the current problem at hand.
True, I’ve watched several tutorials and stuff, but they just cover the basics. This is actually the second time I’m going over this, I got it correct the first time, I just dont know what I’m doing wrong this time…
