So I figured out a way to get elasticsearch up and running again after this issue.
Inside of the directory:
/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins
backup/remove all plugins including x-pack
After all plugins are removed, reinstall the latest versions of your plugins in my case it was only two
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-geoip
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-user-agent
systemctl restart elasticsearch.service
And now my system is back to normal
