Anyone know of a bridge, preferably, like an elite bridge, with individual saddles. It would have to have 4 mounting holes behind the string ferrules and 2 at the top corners or just float at the top I think that is possible...any help would appreciated.

But the mounting holes are in front of the string-through... not behind them. That's standard construction for a Tele.

Funny, the "BRIDGE ASSY AM ELITE TELE 7708481000" would most likely fit, but Fender doesn't offer it as a spare part. I wonder if contacting their Consumer Relations would help...

Anyways, Telecaster bridge swaps are usually & relatively easy. If you don't trust your skills in the process (possible plugging/redrilling to be expected, depending on the model you choose), use a good pro.

How about https://shop.fender.com/en-US/parts/telecaster-parts/6-saddle-american-series-telecaster-bridge-assemblies/0990807100.html?

I'm not saying it would work but it seems to match your description.

You don't need 6 screws. The two front screws you describe are irrelevant. There are even Tele bridges fixed with three screws.

The 2012 American Standard bridge fits the description.
The service diagram lists the bridge complete with pickup or as separate parts but like the Elite bridge it is not easily available.
As John S says the nearest would be the pre-2012 American Standard/Series bridge.
