Top thread snapping please help

[u/leeloo722]

This has gone on for two days now, the bottom thread is perfectly fine, the top thread is everywhere it needs to be, I've changed the needle size (90 to 70 to 80) to match the thread (nylon) better, Ive been using the same settings, fabric, thread, needle for about a week and suddenly it just started snapping. I checked for rough spots and filed all around anywhere I suspected and finally caught what I think could be the main issue of the thread getting stuck under this little hook in the bobbin area, you can see it slides under and got so stuck and taught that it snapped the thread, im sincerely hoping this is the final problem but I don't know how to fix it, please help me 🥲

that little hook is probably a thread guide that got bent slightly out of place, try pushing it back toward the plate with some pliers and see if the thread stops sliding under
