My plants is dying from bottom to top and i see a lot of these bugs going in and out of the mini buds and leaves. I think there fungus gnats but i don't really know 100 percent

The bug pictured is this I think;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocoridae

It is however generally a beneficial bug....Maybe they're feeding on your pesky bug?

what are they feeding on, get a loupe and have a good look

The black bug is a adult thrip. The node damage is russet mites. 2 bugs here, both sap suckers.

Predator mites and lady beetles. I also like jumping spiders although they are less effective.

Bugs did not cause this plant to die. It is sick and when a plant is sick its defense is down and bugs,disease etc attack .

Looks like a sap beetle or a variation of it
