The source of the transfer to my brokerage account was just my bank account. So now the money is sitting in my brokerage account uninvested. The brokerage account is with Vanguard and so is my IRA

That's fine. Just contribute money from taxable brokerage account to IRA. You may have to wait for the deposit to settle in the taxable brokerage account first.

Alternatively, contribute from your bank account and then withdraw from the taxable brokerage account.

Just transfer the money from the brokerage account to the IRA. Nothing wrong with this, people do it all the time.

I’m trying to do that but vanguard only has my bank account as an option to transfer to and from my brokerage account and my IRA

Well, then you have two options here.

One, you can call Vanguard and probably have this resolved in 5 minutes

Two, you can transfer it from your brokerage, back to your checking account, then from your checking account to your IRA.

I'd go with option 1.
