Problem with HHR

So I bought a 06 Chevy HHR LT 2.2 and at first when I started it it had a little metal rattle to it then it went away so I figured it was the timing chain so i opened it up and that's what one of my issues is the guide were broke and the tensioners were bad,the chain had slip in it so my next issue is.Is there a VVT system in a 06 Chevy HHR LT

This is what is found on Wikipedia:
2009: Flex-Fuel (E85) was added to the 2.2 and 2.4 engines.[15] The 2.2 engine now comes with Variable Valve Timing (VVT).

Welcome
If you had it apart to find all the timing chain problems, then you should have seen all the internal parts such as camshafts.
Didn't you notice that there is no VVT on that engine ?
FYI. The 2.2 used in the 06 HHR was a one year only engine. It was changed to different versions of the Ecotec engine in later years.

on the 2.4 there are solenoids on the top of the engine for the variable timing, are they on top for 2.2 with variable timing?

No your 2006 HHR 2.2 would not have VVT. Did you change the balance shaft chain also?

How is this relevant to a 2006 2.2 HHR?
Why post information not pertaining to the question asked?
Please answer the question asked . Then if you must add in the year of changes , but it’s still irrelevant.
