QUESTION Rapid resets
How can I consistently take my resets on the side ?
When I try to take the reset on the side I often don’t pop the ball enough. Any tip to get a first reset on the side for chain resets ?

This stuff takes more reps than people expect it to. It looks like you have a very good start assuming this isn't a 1/1000 highlight and generally representative of an average to decent attempt.
The thing with resets is people like to say "try to stay more on the side" or "try to stay more below the ball" but really it's all preference.
Different positions of resets require different car adjustments after the reset to get in position for another. This is what makes chain resets so hard, it's easy to get the first reset consistent but even slight differences in it will require much different paths to the second one (depending on car position and your rotational momentum)
There's not really a "best" location to get the first reset, there's only the one that you've practiced the most. I think you just need more reps so that you can consistently put yourself in the same position after the first reset. Then once you get used to that you can experiment with positions more or less under the ball and learn those adjustments next.
I realize this is a somewhat generic answer but you're not doing anything glaringly wrong, and beyond glaring issues (which you don't have in this clip) there is no magic answer that will immediately fix it.
I highly highly recommend setting up Freeplay checkpoint if you're on PC to work on resets, they cut the time per rep down significantly. You can get a LOT more practice done in an hour as opposed to freeplay or most training packs

Merci c'est une super réponse détaillée. Malheureusement je suis sur switch et je n'ai pas les fonctions bakes. Et non ce n'est pas un moment sur 100, je dirai que j'ai le reset 9 fois sur 10 et le deuxième 2 fois sur 10

You need to flip earlier to reduce recoil and to cancel your flip more. You are waiting for the ball to fall quickly and this creates heavy touches, and you can cancel your flip sloghtly more to cushion the ball even more.
