Solved

Hello,
I just received the cartridge refill kit I ordered online, so that's great.
However, I didn't check (what a fool I am) but the ink cartridge I have doesn't match all the tutorials I watched online and I don't have a hole to insert my syringe!!!
I imagine I have to drill, I only see one spot but I want to make sure I don't mess up, could someone give me some advice?
I posted a photo of the cartridge
this is my first post on the site so if I made a mistake I apologize in advance and thank you for not being too hard on me ;)

thank you for your advice

@ tribun,
thank you for your response but I am very surprised by what you are telling me, there are dozens of sites that sell refill kits for my printer, there are even tutorials ( https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x22ddym )
what do you think?
Encros is a site selling refill kits, I don't know them but I find it hard to believe they would make up anything just to sell kits...

On their websites, they can say whatever they want.
In the official cartridges of many printer manufacturers, there is a chip that the printer recognizes.
And a compatible or self-refilled one is not recognized.
Manufacturers protect their products.
You can try, and then you can tell me what happened.

I’m getting back to you after reloading my cartridge....
everything went quite well, I didn’t wallpaper my desk with ink
I had asked my cartridge seller for a more detailed explanation which he provided via email. It was mostly about enlarging a hole in the cartridge to be able to pass the syringe through.
I did all that a month ago and everything seems to be working fine since, except the cartridge gauge which indicates that the cartridge is empty so I reload it often (twice in a month for a light use of the printer)...
anyway, a rather positive feedback experience, we’ll see in the medium and long term (I also bought the color refills ;) )
looking forward to it
