My 05 gs500f started to not crank, when I hit the switch the starter sounds like it just spins took it apart and nothing looks loose. Seems like something is not engaging  .I would like a direction to start fixing something

Bad starter clutch maybe. Though I've seen it make a loud knocking noise when cranking but still cranking the engine.
Cool.

The starter clutch has come off the press fit so it can't engage the engine.

Lucky for you there is a step-by-step video by the late adidasguy that details the whole thing.
If you have the same issue he did at 1 minute into this video, then watch the remainder of the video to find out how to fix your issue:
