Just looked at that kit. Nothing crazy going on there, and it’s pretty difficult to mess these up, so I wouldn’t stress.
Did you get a hotswap PCB?
The only part that might be strange for a first timer is soldering switches (which you will only need to do if you did NOT get a hotswap PCB) and lubing your stabilizers and switches. Lubing your stabilizers and switches are optional but highly recommended. The best videos on those two processes are definitely Taeha Types’ videos, and he is very thorough with his descriptions and video demonstrations.
It might help to know what you’re actually doing on each step in this video, and why. If you really still feel like you need a helping hand, I’m willing to hop on a Discord call to walk you through it.
Most keyboards are a “you do it once and you know it forever” type of deal. I wouldn’t be so stressed about it. It is just a keyboard in the end.

I just saw this build video and it’s very straightforward: https://youtu.be/Kza9uqgGfhQ
