Hello, I wanted to use the Worm gear Add on (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/8debf48a92e4eff2ad42217d/w/a8176d7619e9aff1cac8d3e6/e/759a81c91a3ea81b07e15c8f) but when I click the Add custom feature button, I can only add Envelope 3D or RotTrace, both of which do not open any kind of configuration. How do I add the proper add on? I have not found any option, and since Im new to Onshape, im not used to the workflow of adding new features like this

I think you are looking for a worm gear Custom Feature or FeatureScript. The referenced document contains the Envelope 3D and RotTrace Custom Features, which are used to create the worm gears modeled in the same document. If you made a copy of that document, you could create your own worm gears to be used in your designs (which would use Envelope 3D and RotTrace), but I don't know of a simple worm gear Custom Feature.
