Can someone explain this to me?

I heard that the IDF has some sort of capability of back tracking Iranian missiles to the site of the Iranian launchers. And once the launchers are located, they can be destroyed. At least, I THINK I heard that.

And yet Iranians are launching into the Strait of Hormuz.

Sooo...why can't the United States back track THOSE missiles to the site of their launchers and TARGET them with our bombers?

They have stockpiles of mobile launchers that are well hidden. When they launch them they haul them away quickly and hide them. Depending on how long it takes from detection to giving the order to launch an attack to finding them they can already be out of the area. Sometimes they find them and destroy them. Satellite views are also used but the enemy also knows all this and knows how to counter it.
