Hi,
Is there any way to contact apple support via chat or e-mail regards resetting the security questions?
I can't reset them because I have an error message saying
"Cannot reset security questions
We do not have sufficient information to reset your security questions."
This is impossible task and I've tried everything.. yet somehow my answers are always incorrect.

Several years ago Apple transitioned to using two factor authentication instead of security questions. You can continue to use security questions if you already use them and they are working for you, but if you have problems then they no longer get direct support. You can try the directions in this support article If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support but the article is labeled "archived" and may contain information that no longer applies. If the instructions work then fine; if they do not (e.g., you see “not enough information”*) then you will have to change to the newer security method if you can. Over the past few years Apple has been persistently encouraging users to switch to the newer two factor authentication security system. For those who have disregarded their encouraging, Apple will likely only help you to now change to two factor authentication, if even that is possible. Follow the instructions in the "Turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID" section in this support article --> Two-factor authentication for Apple Account - Apple Support to try to change to two factor authentication.
If you still need help, contact Apple Account support at this link ➞ https://getsupport.apple.com/?caller=cups&PGF=PGF63005
Select "Other Apple Account Topics", then "Security concerns or account compromised." This will give you a chat or telephone call option.
If Apple can not or will not help you transition to two factor authentication then it is quite possible you will have to simply abandon the old account and everything it contained.
Good luck!

You need to set up two-factor authentication or contact Apple's Account Security team. To reach them, click here or here and pick a method; if you can't use any of those listed, choose one from this link.

If you have two-factor authentication enabled, then you have no security questions.
If you have potentially lost control of an Apple Account, you can try Account Recovery, if that’s not already what you are trying here. If the account was talen over, Recovery usually won’t work. This particularly if the take-over was done correctly; if your password was compromised, and two-factor authentication wasn’t previously enabled..
