Welcome!
Any GM parts department. They are not that difficult to locate, are they?
If you go here: Commonly Used Part Numbers - Chevy HHR Network Either the part numbers is in there or the post telling how to find part numbers will help. After you get the part number, you could try a eBay search of the part number.

Part of the confusion over people not being able to find them is that GM likes to call them "spacers" for some reason. But a search of the site here came up with several threads discussing them, including this one: 19177872 - GM SPACER, Air Cleaner at Chevy Parts Prime
Which happens to have a link to a source for buying them: ie: 19177872 - GM SPACER, Air Cleaner at Chevy Parts Prime

Mine has the rubber grommets in the intake bottom, but the engine side mounts are missing.
The grommet at the front left mount is missing as well, so I would need the
two rear studs/mounts, and a front left grommet. I have a make shift grommet
in there, it's not big enough, but will get one.

If you are not concerned about appearance; a piece of carpet padding with a slit cut in it works for the front passenger side. A while ago a member related that the front grommet is different from the 2 rears.
The rubber spacer on the front driver side is odd, it is just a piece of rubber.

I know, the rear grommets are different, they're much bigger.
I put a grommet on that front one, but it's a little small. I thought I had bigger ones, I may, I just can't
find them right now. When I do, I will have a perfect fit.
I still need something for the rear ones to snap into... This was hit up front, I can see the hood
release lever imprint in the A/C condenser, and the upper support is tweaked just a little where the
bracket that goes into the hood latch rubs, on the metal of the upper support. Whatever it was
went through the grille, and pushed the intake back as well, breaking the mounts. The damage is
quite minimal.

We went through the grommet thing a couple of months ago, never resolved.

2011 air filter housing
the support bracket that mounts on the back on the motor for the air filter mine broke on one side and the other side is got a crack so I got the idea of leaving the bracket off to see if it might work well so far so good I just made sure that the clamp that is on the front of the intake and the torx bolt are tight and it seems to be okay

Shaking my head over this - the bracket is obviously there for a reason. When the intake housing on the air cleaner cracks, or when the housing breaks as it rattles around on rough roads.............. come on - that's not quite as bad as the idea of saving weight by removing one wheel nut off each corner, but it's close.
You made a comment on another thread which showed a cheap and easy fix. Why not give that a try.
