It depends on your Nintendo Switch model. Today, the most widely used chip is the RP2040, the famous Picofly, which has several models for application. These are V1 and V2, which only differ in the flex cable soldered to the APU, the OLED, and the Lite. I personally only install the RP2040 Zero; it doesn't have a specific form factor and I can use it in all Switches just by pulling the cables. The one in the image is a V2.
I don't have a tutorial, unfortunately.
I developed this installation myself according to my needs, but it's not very complicated if you already have experience installing chips in the Switch.
Prepare the RP2040 Zero chip with the system, remove the USB port and the reset and boot buttons, add the resistors and solder the cables to the pads.
Do you have any experience installing them?
If not, I recommend the pre-installed chips; they are much simpler to install, as you only need to solder them onto the APU and plug the eMMC into the chip.
This one is a bit more complicated, but I've been using them since they were released.
You can find several demonstration videos on YouTube; I don't have any specific ones.
The advantage of this chip is that it's much cleaner and more organized, and I don't need to cut the metal shielding, which is also used to dissipate heat.

That looks super clean
It's a great option, the installation is super clean and organized.

You have a tuto, I use cables but with a normal HwFly and I dont like to Cut the metal shield

I always use 34 to 36 AWG cables.
Nice, the resistor that you put on the RP2040, do you know how to search it?
Resistor de 47 Ohms, 0805 ou 1206.
Never seen a zero before. Looks interesting.
Got an installation guide / video you’d suggest?

Not with a zero. I’ve only installed flex cable versions of the picofly

Ok, I want to install a mod chip in for V2 switch, but my options are getting a Core, V2 version or a 3 in 1. Which would be the correct one for me?
Core is very practical, the soldering is easy, it's a 3-in-1 chip that fits all versions, only the flex cables change for each version.
Go with Core, use the V2 flex cable to apply it on top of the APU and you'll be fine.
