The needle goes down but it sounds like its hitting plastic

If the needle is not in all the way it will bottom out in the shuttle, or if you bought new needles and accedently got the wrong ones. If the needle does not enter the needle plate far enough to be bottoming out then the machine is out of time. You know i was about to hit post it and I realized I didn't think about, if the needle is bent it will hit the hook. so check those things hope it works out.

Perhaps you have bent the needle. Or perhaps you have shifted the bobbin somewhat while removing jammed fabric.
