I know how you should prepare the pieces before attacking but when I try to start attacking my pieces are in the way which are the knight on f6 and sometimes the bishop on b4 which I can’t trade of.
When I try to pawn storm my knight and Bishop are in the way so where do I put them
Can anyone answer me. Pls

First off:
People have the wrong idea about attacking. Attacking is NOT a way of getting the advantage. That whole idea is 180 degrees wrong. Attacking is a PROCESS, not a goal. It is a method for turning one sort of advantage - better development, open lines, enemy Pawn weakness - into a different and more immediately useful form of advantage - checkmate or win of material.
You gain the advantage by out-maneuvering your opponent. You cash that advantage in by attacking. Gain the advantage FIRST. Attack AFTERWARD.
So in your particular case, if you aren't getting good attacks as Black with the King's Indian Defense, the most likely reason is that you are failing to out-maneuver your opponent, so you never gain the advantage and no good attacking opportunities ever arise.
If you want more positive help... here's a King's Indian Defense that I played as Black in which I first out-maneuvered my opponent - thus gaining the advantage - and then shifted to the attack to cash in... and won a Bishop.
