hi hi!! i will try to help to the best of my ability since i know how frustrating this whole coding thing can be.
so spacehey profile editing is all done in CSS - which i'm sure you understand it can be a total pain in the ass if you don't have everything put in exactly right.
you've got a few tools at your disposal - in order to find certain elements and test out your syntax, you can use the inspect element tool in your browser. you should be able to access it by right clicking in your browser window. through this tool, you can pick out specific elements on a page and see the style elements assigned to them by default. you can also directly edit in the inspect element menu! there are also tools people have made to live test your syntax/formatting like nein-mc's spacehey CSS preview thingy, among a couple others. it's a great way to test out everything before pushing a profile update.
the "body" element will refer to the entire background of your profile, and the "main" element will refer to the box that holds all your profile information. here's code from my profile:
body{
background-image: url(https://wallpapercave.com/wp/wp10902337.jpg);
}
main {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.85);
}
just as a heads up, my profile does have auto-playing music and a gif before the profile loads in!! but these rules that i have set will have the linked wallpaper across the entire background, and the main profile content box over top will be translucent. of course, you can feel free to use this and slap your own link inside if you want to! (as a quick aside, the "a" in rgba is "alpha" - which in this case is the transparency. the closer to 1 the more opaque it is). if there's a specific image you have saved that you want to use, a good (free!) image hosting site that you can use is catbox.moe. afaik spacehey doesn't host images.
i hope that this is helpful to you, and feel free to reach out if you would like/need further help!!

Use this, I converted my images to links. Main is the middle image the "body" is the background image that takes up the whole profile's space
