TBH, a well placed kick serve is all you really need in amateur tennis, so you should watch some youtube videos and focus on that. Once you get it down, you'll see your double fault count decrease significantly and you won't get balls slammed down your throat due to a blooper 2nd serve
As top spin serve is the most important serve to learn it is also the hardest to master. It usually takes 2+ years just to get the hang of it. Yes I would recommend watching a youtube video on how to do topspin serves.

its really hard to consistently power serve as someone who is 5"11, i cant even see the box over the net, how am i supposed to curve this ball to hit it
mad respect for anyone who plays this sport at any level above full retard
takes some serious energy and athleticism
had alot of fun playing it this morning too
Look up a video on how to do topspin serves and keep practicing at it. You will get the hang of it. It just takes time. The reason topspin serves are recommended is because it allows the ball go in the court while the ball is in the air at a higher height. They work effectively for second serves. Also consider flat serves for first serves. Do some practice at that too.
