I have no clue what the best manner is to put them together, and i cant find any good youtube video.

Not much to it. There are 6 pins on the chip and 6 pads on the PCB. Line them up and solder.

If you scroll down to the "TECHNICAL DETAILS" section of the product description, there will be a pinout diagram showing which pins are which. (Note the notch in one corner to help you orient the chip) https://www.adafruit.com/product/619

As the diagram shows, there are 3 individual LEDs on the chip. You can connect these the same as you would connect three individual LEDs: https://learn.adafruit.com/all-about-leds
Note that the Vf of the red LED is lower than the green or the blue, so your resistor calculation will be different as well.

Thanks for the info, and indeed not that difficult :))
