I'm sorry to ask this if it's stupid ☹️ but I really need help in how to use these...I tried and by the end I'm so frustrated because I don't understand and also I have a disability with numbers so this makes it harder ☹️

Maybe try using only the RedSea kit and get accustomed to testing with it instead of using three different manufacturers. Is there something in particular that is confusing with the RedSea kit?
 
The one test says to keep adding drops until it turns, pink I think, but it doesn't say what to do or what the color means???

Red Sea does have great videos on their site. I would start with those. There are specific end colors to look for, they will change slightly when they get close but it’s that final color you look for. People like me, who have issues as well, use other tests like the Hanna checkers which are much simpler to use
 
Of those three, Kh is the most important. You may want to look at using a Hanna Alkalinity Checker to make life easier. Are you dosing Alkalinity, Calcium or Magnesium? Tell us a bit about your setup, LPS, SPS, etc.
