You might want to check out the answers to these two questions:

I've heard many times that during the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the US armed, trained, and funded a new rebel group called Al Queada, recently founded by Osama bin Laden to help fight against the Soviets. What parts, if any, of this claim are true?

Was Osama Bin Laden "recruited, armed, and financed by the CIA"

The long and the short of it is that there is no real straight line of funding between Bin Laden and the US. More often than not, popular commentators simplify or distort events to suit a politically charged narrative to create a chain of responsibility for 9/11 that leads straight back to the US. The whole picture, as the answers in the linked threads suggest, is much more complicated.

The short answer is no, there is no credible evidence of the US ever having direct contact with Bin Laden while we were providing arms to fighters in Afghanistan, although he was there and fighting at the same time (However, Al Qaeda was likely not founded till after the conflict ended, or the very tail end at the earliest).

The long answer is that we had to work with Pakistan to actually get weapons to the various mujaheddin groups fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, and the US and Pakistan often had very different ideas of which mujaheddin fighters should be receiving weapons, with Pakistan favoring some of the more religious extremist organizations. Particularly, Pakistan supported Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who was known to be friendly with Bin Laden, and ran a group for Arab fighters in Afghanistan called Maktab al-Khadamat (MAK). After the Soviets left, the MAKs leaders were assassinated, and the group was absorbed into Al Qaeda.

Ahmad Shah Massoud was more of the US proxy during the Soviet period, and his group fought Hekmatyar's forces after the Soviet withdrawal during the Afghan civil war. After the rise of the Taliban, Massoud led the Northern Alliance against them, until two days before 9/11, when he was assassinated by Al Qaeda. Notably, Massoud had gained some knowledge that Al Qaeda was planning a large scale attack against the US (even larger than their previous embassy bombings), and tried to warn the US before his death.

I highly recommend reading the book "Ghost Wars" which is an exhaustive overview detailing US support to the mujaheddin, the Afghanistan civil war following the Soviet withdrawal, this rise of the Taliban, and the events leading up to September 11th 2001.
