Which steps, Singular9?
Be more specific next time...
(It seems like every new member of the forum does that. It's okay though; learn from your mistakes.

step 5

That is a nice model, you need to use extremely thin paper for it, otherwise it will be a mess when you start thinning it at around step 20. Here's is the folding sequence for step 5:

what about a picture or video on how to fold the triangle thing on the bottom and at the same time to fold side flaps

I thought that was explained in the pictures from yestaerday, but here it is again in slow motion. Make sure you precrease in the direction indicated in the diagrams:

i dont get the 3-4 picture
plees show under side

Are you sure you precreased as the diagrams tell you to? Because with the indications and the pictures it should be clear already how to do it. Anyway, here's a picture of the bottom side:

If you still don't get it, do not give up keep trying or ask again.

can you do this exact step in super duper slow motion millimeter by millimeter

If you still aren't getting it, I will have to agree that you probably need to work on simpler models first and work your way up to something of this complexity. There is nothing wrong with having to practice, you'll learn a lot about how the paper moves and behaves and you'll have better results in the long run.

Since I saw the other topic of you, asking what a valley and mountain fold is, I assume you know the defenition of them.

In the diagram:

The mountain fold is shown by a dash-dot line
and
The valley fold is shown by a dashed line.

Fold those ones right,

I colored the Mountain folds red for you and the valley folds blue.

Now try it with the photodiagrams of Brimstone.
If you cannot figure it out, begin simpler. You need basic knowledge, else you will get trouble in difficult models.

Here's my last attempt:
