pom.xml <configuration> in VS code doesnt work - maven

Question

I'm new to Maven and have a problem with the pom.xml file in my project, it always gives me an error.
The goal, I wanted to achieve with the "configuration" is to connect it with the main branch. Now my question is, how would I do that? I already tried to reference it to the project name.
Note: I couldn't include all the dependencies that I would used as this is too much code for stackoverflow.
