I tried it with this and other guides but it messes up the template,.

Could you help me out
What is the correct code and at where without ruining the template.

/templates/ja_teline_v/html/layouts/joomla/content/item/ default.php

[PHP] <div class=”default-tools”>
<h6><?php echo JText::_(‘TPL_DEFAULT_TOOL_TITLE’) ?></h6>
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render(‘joomla.content.magazine_icons’, array(‘item’ => $item, ‘params’ => $params)); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ($typo_tools): ?>
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render(‘joomla.content.typo_tools’, array()); ?>
<?php endif ?>

<?php if ($sharing_tools): ?>
<?php echo JLayoutHelper::render(‘joomla.content.sharing_tools’, array()); ?>
<?php endif ?>
</div>
<?php endif ?>[/PHP]

I also created the position <position>socialarticoli</position> to templateDetails.xml

That part belongs to the content of article so I think that you can places your desired module directly inside article: https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/loadposition-loadmodule/

Then add some styles for it so that it can display underneath the article tools.

You can use Firebug editor to know how the block of article tool is styled and you can apply that style for added module.
