Any good companion guides to this? I just finished the first section and have literally no idea what this goblin is talking about.

Read Descartes, Spinoza (optional), Locke, Leibniz, Berkeley, Hume.
Watch Richard Wolff's lectures on Kant
Read the Stanford Encyclopedua of Philosophy's entry on Kant

The transcendental aesthetic? Give up, unironically. The TA is arguably one of the easiest parts. It's the foundation of his entire philosophy.

The best route would be reading his predecessors on which his philosophy is based. But since you probably will not do this, read Kant and have the Kant Dictionary by Lucas Thorpe on the side.

Have you at least read Descartes and Hume? You won't make much progress without those - Kant is trying to reconcile two strands of thought that have their origin in Descartes, and CPR directly builds off of Hume. You should also read the SEP entry on rationalism and empiricism.

The Cambridge Companion is decent. I really like Allison's Transcendental Idealism as well. This is a good lecture series too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMVDe_wx0nI&list=PLBHxLhKiPKxA3KsvoxbVnnXBMJleK2dvF

Good luck, remember most of Kants contemporaries found it so difficult that he had to read the Prolegomena to clarify what he was talking about.
