en.lichess.org/trNUlXDm/blackIm not too sure about how i lost honestly, he put all of his pawns on light sqaures and killed my bishop, then he put pressure on my a pawn and then the position simply collapsed, but still after all of his pawns were on light squares how do i make any progress?
i tried to do something with my rook and he ended up getting stuck my bishop and other rook were also really passive
The rook on f4 is the main problem. It's doing nothing there and you're virtually down an exchange as long as it stays there. Besides, your opponent still has a couple of extra pawns and that makes this ending a bit complicated to win. Maybe you thought this is an easy win but it's not. Be careful when you play this kind of ending.
I couldn't win against Stockfish. It's very hard:

i heard of a game with pentala harikishna where he sacced his bishop for 2 pawns and ended up winning the endgame
I've tried to win this ending against SF8 many times but the engine keeps coming with incredible resources. I've tried to sac the bishop and I even got an extra pawn advantage but the rook ending is a draw. I give up. This was my last try:
pt.lichess.org/qFXUqbzOKP8XWell as the engine shows, move 37 is a huge mistake as you give up your e and f pawns for white's f pawn instead of both his f pawn and his passed h pawn. Then it's pretty trivial to suck up his other pawns, trade rooks, promote, and win.
I have the impression that 24...Bc8 starts the trouble. Better Kh7, intending Kh6, Rg8. You leave the bishop to defend a6, not the rook which is the more valuable piece. It is a typical case where you have to restrain the pawn majority on the king's wing. Generally speaking two pawns are not enough compensation for a bishop, but the winning plan is to activate the pieces. In this case it means putting the rooks on the open g-file and then striving for ...f5 or ...d5 to open a diagonal for the bishop.
