TheWoWDBIf you are having trouble finding the barriers - the one that is hard to find is out on the landing dock that will be the flight plans. You can mount up and fly over - makes it easier to buzz around for the quests too!

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This is the dock to the North East at /way 58.39, 32.81
These are transparent and look more like a jar/vase than a projector.
None of these are in a building or hidden. They are on the streets.
There are several at the far north, south, east, west and in the center of the quest area marked on your minimap.
You can fly in this area, simply fly around the zone, there will be yellow dots on your minimap indicating the location.
Fly down, interact, and remount.

What to do
Description
Those barrier projectors we recovered? We need them now. Place them at key points to reinforce the city shield and block more portals from forming. Move swiftly, {name}. This may be our only chance to stop the Shadowguard from flooding in.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Alleria, <name>... Have you sensed it? The Void lingers in all of this. Whoever is pulling the strings is cloaked in shadow, hiding from us. Come, let's seek them out and drag them into the light before they strike.

- Sealing the Shadows
No, no, no! The Shadowguard are ransacking the city and our defenses are crumbling! We even invested in new security golems after the city was last breached, but we haven't had time to activate them. Wait... I have an idea.
