I seriously need some help getting the Mic on my Lenovo Thinkpad working

I know that the system only needs one server running but how can I go about it

See this post for how to disable PipeWire or replace PulseAudio:

Not detecting audio hardware

To continue using PulseAudio, use this command to stop, disable and mask PipeWire service and socket

systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket pipewire.service && systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket

OR

Install metapackage manjaro-pipewire to remove and replace PulseAudio

pamac install manjaro-pipewire

This laptop has an internal digital array microphone (dmic) that is not supported by the legacy audio driver snd_hda_intel currently in use on your system

I suggest you install kernel v5.14 or v5.15 that can use the Sound Open Firmware driver and support the internal dmic
