So hear me out, weapons like this stinger use guidance tech to hit helicopters. Why cant weapons like the NLAW and javelin do the same, maybe with different software?

It would run out of fuel, they are designed to head towards the heat source and fly directly down into it.

Perhaps you could amend the software of the projectile but it would still have issues with distance and maneuvering.
