I followed the video on vacuuming and recharging the A/C system but after adding one can of refrigerant the A/C blows cool but not cold air and the other can of refrigerant won’t go in so my A/C won’t get cold. Not sure what the issue is, I followed the video exactly and everything works so flawlessly until I tried adding the second can. Can you help lead me to what might be the problem? Thank you.

If so, what is the high and low side pressure? It sounds like you have an A/C compressor that the seals are starting to fail. The high side should be about 250 PSI and the low about 40 PSI. If the pressure are close to the same you need a new compressor. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:
