I am using special light switches that have a back light... currently im just trying to figure out which item to choose when using a bubble card stark the other issue im running into is when i go to pick and entity for the real button i cannot find the vertical button stack from bubble card im so lost.
#Hello HA people, I'm having a difficult time try to figure the system out.

Can you be a little more specific here? The light switches themselves have a light on them that you're trying to control? What make and model switch are you using?

Can you post a link or screenshot to what you mean by a vertical button stack? IIRC, Bubble Card popups rely on a vertical stack card, but I'm not familiar with what you mean by a vertical button stack.
More than likely your wording is wrong in the question which isn't a problem; just trying to understand what you're trying to do.

Hello im using a version of these light switches (only changes would be if they have neutrals and the total light switches it controls (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYLH8TG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) when added into HA with tuya there are 3 entities the switch the something and the backlight... For some reason i am struggling to figure out how to set anything up for these due to there 3 step system i guess
Also do i need to set up the automations and scenes before i start seting up my dashboards, idk just seems a little overwhelming and on top of moving it just keeps getting more and mroe confusing

Full disclosure: I primarily use tablets and voice in my home. I don't have buttons like yours. I also don't use Tuya-based devices. At least not any more; they were too slow and dependent on the internet so I moved away from them years ago.
Here's the thing: your switch and the dashboard are two totally separate things. You can make them work together or not. I can't really advise you on getting the switch to work. But that's okay. More than likely, your switch would need to be incorporated into automations. #1284980040940912641 would be more help for that aspect.
The dashboard can essentially do the same thing as the button. Let's pretend you set up an automation for the first button and it turns on a light. (Your switch does not appear to be able to control a load so I'm assuming you have a smart bulb configured somewhere in your home.) You can configure a button on your dashboard to perform one of the following actions:
Turn on the light directly
Activate the automation
Use a service-call to toggle the switch entity (which subsequently fires the automation)
You could activate a scene that is configured to turn on the light (and set brightness, color, etc.)
