I am so bad when there is only pawns and our queens, even if i have an extra rook i sometimes make draws, is there any life hacks or tips like idk the king should be in the corner or the queen should be around the king?

Bring your king into the action to support your pawns and provide additional threats your opponent's king
Centralize Your Queen
Push Passed Pawns

Bring the queen so that the pawns can’t be taken. Then push. If they blunder their queen Great!

"I am so bad when there is only pawns and our queens"
++ Queen endgames are hard. You have to calculate all possible checks.

"even if i have an extra rook" ++ Then trade queens and win with your extra rook.

"the king should be in the corner" ++ The king should be in a safe place.

"the queen should be around the king"
++ The queen should be in the center, or supporting a passed pawn if you have one.
