Are you supposed to fight the snake or the Guardian ape first?
I just walked past an area that briefly had the snake, now I'm fighting the guardian ape. Now I haven't fought those group of monkeys yet, and I also have yet to kill that snake. Am I missing some bosses or is this the "correct" order?

The snake is optional (doesn't drop beads or memories). the area between the snake attacking the bridge and the guardian ape have no other bosses.

you can ignore the snake for the whole playthrough unless you want to achieve the "Return" ending; which requires a guide since it's the most complex of all the endings.

At your point there is but one decision to make: You either fight the Ape now, but this will lead to you having another, harder boss fight down the line.

Or you leave the Ape be for now and progress to Ashina Depths with the end goal of fighting the corrupted monk there. This will lead to you skipping that mentioned harder boss fight after the Ape.

Leaving the snake alive for your whole playthrough is completely fine, it is not a 'real' boss ( queue people that don't think so ). Because of that, there is no clear-cut order that people kill the snake in if they want to kill it - it's basically just a detour of 20 seconds on your normal progress route to kill the snake. And just like was said above, I am one of those people that only kill the snake if I'm going for a 'return ending' playthrough which, among other things, makes you collect the fresh and the dried viscera with the fresh one coming from the kill of the snake.

Killing the snake is optional, but it is required for one of the endings. Other than that the only thing you get for killing it is that it won't bother you after breaking the bridge. Btw you have to complete Senpou Temple before you can kill the snake.
