They keep flying into my garage and dying. I try to help them out, but they won't stop freaking out and will not leave... It makes me feel terrible going back inside knowing that I'm just gonna find another dead dragonfly in the morning. Any tips on redirecting them out from my garage without sending them into shock?

sounds like your garage is covered in pheromones that attrackt them. So i would try some repellant for insects in general or somehow cover up or naturalize the smell. I think there is a special spray for this in DIY-stores. It will probably smell bad also for humans, though. But it's better than operating a death trap
