HelloIs there a way that I can implement plugins that I added to the core Joomla to work with the k2 component?Sorry if I sound like a newb

Check each plugin to see if its k2 compatiable
email the creators of the plugins and ask that it be made to see k2 content as well as joomla content
Check the extensions for the joomla extensions and search for k2, you may find a replacement for something you are using that will work similarly
