What model bike ?

I'm assuming a sports bike with clip on bars that clamp around the fork leg just below the top yoke.

Should be a straight forward job. Not an expert, but, my advice would be -

loosen the clip on clamps and slide these down the fork leg by the amount that you want to lower the fork legs. Tighten these back up.

Loosen the yoke clamp bolts, top and bottom, and the forks should slide up through the yokes until the top yoke rests against the clip on clamps.

Check everything is even and straight and then tighten it all back up.

Check that you have the same length of fork leg showing above the top yoke on both sides.

With respect, if you are not sure how to lower the fork's and by your own admission you are not mechanically minded, should you be changing suspension set ups ? No offence meant.
