How to target a specific colider

So I'm currently making a top down RPG for a school project, and my attack script uses a polygon collider that looks for the collider on the enemy to attack when space is pressed. Only problem is, in making the enemy AI, I had to make another collider for the enemy so that they could find and follow the player. When the attack script is run, it attacks both colliders. Is there a way I can make the script only attack the box collider? script for enemy pathfinding, and both attack scripts found below

Enemy targeting

 public class enemyTargeting : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float speed = 2.5f;
     private Transform target;
     private void Update()
     {
         if (target != null)
         {
             float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
             transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, target.position, step);
         }
     }
     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
     {
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
         {
             target = other.transform;
         }
     }
     private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)
     {
         if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
         {
             target = null;
         }
     }
 }

Player attack

 public class playerAttack : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private GameObject attackArea = default;
     private bool attacking = false;
     private float timeToAttack = 0.25f;
     private float timer = 0f;
     void Start()
     {
         attackArea = transform.GetChild(0).gameObject;
         attackArea.SetActive(false);
         attacking = false;
     }
     void Update()
     {
       
         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
         {
             Attack();
         }
         if(attacking)
         {
             timer += Time.deltaTime;
             if(timer >= timeToAttack)
             {
                 timer = 0;
                 attacking = false;
                 attackArea.SetActive(false);
             }
         }
     }
     private void Attack()
     {
         attacking = true;
         attackArea.SetActive(true);
         attackArea.SetActive(attacking);
     }
 }
 

area of attack

 public class areaOfAttack : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private int damage = 1;
     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collider)
     {
         if(collider.GetComponent<enemyHealth>() != null)
         {
             enemyHealth health = collider.GetComponent<enemyHealth>();
             health.TakeDamageE(damage);
         }
     }
 }
