i have been trying to create custom user registration form for normal user and super user but i still cant login as superuser/admin . also i cant register any user because it is not connected to db . i follow this tutorial on how to create custom user https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x97gGspzjY and i manage to do it . i just cant login as admin and cannot register any user . what exactly the next step

As far as I can see, you do not have first_name attribute in your custom model (CustomUser). This is what

AttributeError: 'CustomUser' object has no attribute 'first_name'

is telling you.

Look at your CustomUser class. It is defining username, email, etc., but it does not define first_name anywhere. Yet, you are attempting to reference first_name (which is not defined for the class/model) in multiple methods (i.e., get_full_name(), get_short_name().

Try to define it and see whether the error persists.
