I have entered 2 Jams and made a game and submmited it, and both were failures with issues I couldn't figure out in time,

is there a Jam to give them a second chance some how like what they was supposed to be gets reworked for the new Jam and I could try to team up with someone to achieve it, also I can't pay anyone for their contribute so if there's such a Jam and someone is interested in teaming up but I can't pay you but you wanna work somethin out to make up for that chat on Discord:  Cat Trainer Cinos#6518

Yes, there are Game Jams here on Itch where you can use old projects. You have to dig around for them sometimes, but I've seen about 2 or 3 so far. There are also Game Jams that last longer than a week to give you more time to finish.

Game jams are useful for getting something done but they rarely have the polish of completed games. Even if your game was successful, you may want to go back and polish it a little afterward. I learned a lot from my failed entry. I fixed it a little afterward but it still needs a lot of work to be complete.

my two examples have issues I don't know how to fix

Looks like you are using Game Maker Studio. Have you tried asking for help somewhere? I'm not familiar with GMS. If you can't fix them maybe try some tutorial and a simpler project.

(I have been playing with Godot after seeing Disc Room Game Jam's example GMS project. I mostly recreated it in Godot and have been modifying it since them to make my own creation.)
