If you use one of the new Backgrounds that include ability adjustments, it will override the 2014 racial adjustment--removing them from the builder--or setup from later books like the Owlin. if you want to use the race/species specific ability adjustments, you have to use one of the older backgrounds.
Why cant I use Tashas for the background bonuses? I want to use STR instead of DEX for my Guide but it wont let me make it so. Because Guide is stuck with DEX CONT and WIS. I like CONT but STR bonus is what I need.

Because that's what the 2024 rules say. If you use one of the 2014-style backgrounds it will work the way you want.

I'm wanting to play an Owlin but I'm not seeing how to apply the racial ability score increase in either the species menu or the abilities menu.
Did you check the background area?

is the species bonuses the same as the background? I'm making an half-elf character. I don't see its species bonus applied either.

Shouldn't you get both ability modifiers (background and species)?
No: that would be stupid broken for one thing, and for another the 5e24 rules specifically state that they don’t.
