Hackintoshes require a lot of trial and error, that is the nature of trying to install an OS onto hardware it wasn't meant to be installed on. Its highly unlikely that everything will work correctly. The only way for everything to work correctly is to get a real Mac. The OpenCore guide suggests many of the kexts you'll need, but your exact needs really depends on your specific hardware configuration. That's why many suggest that you start from scratch using the OpenCore guide to build your hackintosh. It will help you understand how your system works, unlike a prebuilt ISO.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I already configure some kext. I don't know if the ones I have are right. I don't know much about that. Configure the config.plist and the patches too, now what's next? restart I put the usb and it only takes me something called Shell
 
I tried a Hackintosh on an A6 based system last year and I had lots of trouble with the motherboard/bios compatibility. Keep in mind that you need the patches specific to your generation of AMD A10 processor. Don't be tempted to just use the sample config.plist included with OpenCore, you really need to start from scratch with the guide and follow all the suggestions, including making sure your boot USB has the proper Mac OS install on it, and the separate EFI partition has all your OpenCore files in exactly the directory naming and order specified in the guide.

You will likely get a lot more support after you have become more familiar with setting up and building that first installer.

I managed to install Sierra before but with a public build but now I want to put Catalina I was following a video tutorial on how I did it with open core but I was following the guide but with my specifications but when trying to start in bios I did not succeed alone takes me something called shell

It sounds like you are in the UEFI shell, which may mean you didn't setup your EFI partition properly. Video's go out of date far too quickly, particularly as OpenCore changes. Follow the guide, and make sure you are using known good tools like ProperTree for editing your config.plist and MountEFI for accessing the EFI partition.
