Your question is not very clear so trying to suggest based on assumption of your intent.

If you want to match a value of an account to a configured custom setting, then you would want to select the custom setting matching the value of the account in the loop as shown below. This should give you the value of the setting matching specified value of an account.

for (Contact cntctRec:cntctRecs){
    Account_Source_Value__c setting = Account_Source_Value__c.getValues(cntctRec.Account.<source column>__c);
    if (setting != null) {
        cntctRec.NewField__c = setting.<setting column>__c;
    }
}
