Welcome to Node-RED and remember we were all beginers at one point.

It is easy to post a flow and even a [thread explaining](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) how to insert it (to export it go to the hamburger menu and select export and copy it to paste into a flow)

Since you have determined it s actually rwo issues, explain each seperately and make sure - when using other than the base nodes - to give the full node name like node-red-contrib-moment etc.
