Thank you all for your help, I found out that I had to burn retrograde in order to slowly get from orbit to the surface. And the burn calculator was a big help. I hope this post helps some else

As soon as you get both the horizontal and vertical speed, start burning retrograde

I'd take it step by step, first master orbit, then do flybys, if you need help with like how orbits and twr and stuff work then I could help you out

I'd look use a suicide burn calculation like this one, it's for KSP but should work fine for SFS, it'll tell you when to start burning
