Inside Bar Scan Request

What exactly are you trying to do? Scan for an inside bar? Use this code

def IsUp = close > open;
def IsDown = close < open;
def IsDoji = IsDoji();
def avgRange = 0.05 * Average(high - low, 20);
plot PatternPlot =
    ((Sum(IsUp, 1)[1] >= 0)) and
    ((Sum(IsUp, 1)[0] >= 0)) and
    Highest(high[1], 1) >= Highest(high[0], 1) and
    Lowest(low[1], 1) <= Lowest(low[0], 1);

PatternPlot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
PatternPlot.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(51, 255, 255));

I'm Trying to setup a scan just like the picture. I just don't know how to set it up

Sadly no.
Your image references two proprietary scripts:

You need to get permission from whoever authored those scripts; then load them into your library, and only then, can you use them in the scan hacker.

Here is a double inside day
#DoubleInsideDay
#hint: SCAN (only) for "double inside day" - next day look for the price to move big one way or another...
def lo = low;
def hi = high;
def vo = volume;

def s = if (hi[2] >= hi[1] and lo[2] <= lo[1]) and (hi[1] >= hi[0] and lo[1] <= lo[0])
and vo[2] >= vo[1] and vo[1] >= vo then 1 else 0;
plot signal = s within 1 bars;

#addlabel(1, if signal then "Di" else " ", color.green);

Was this a stock from the scan?

A scanner for this

Here is a double inside day
#DoubleInsideDay
#hint: SCAN (only) for "double inside day" - next day look for the price to move big one way or another...
def lo = low;
def hi = high;
def vo = volume;

def s = if (hi[2] >= hi[1] and lo[2] <= lo[1]) and (hi[1] >= hi[0] and lo[1] <= lo[0])
and vo[2] >= vo[1] and vo[1] >= vo then 1 else 0;
plot signal = s within 1 bars;

#addlabel(1, if signal then "Di" else " ", color.green);

the inside bar 1 bar ago and the twodown is the most current, because we want to catch the next day if it goes above the two that closes green.

What exactly is this chart measuring, what is the outcome you want to act upon and what is the expectation of price action and in what timeframe. Is this based off some Ehler counting formula? what do the numbers mean - I would need more detailed info

Ok there were many potential plots here and TOS can only do one or you can combine but that would not work so well on this one. So here is a scanner that performs a 1-2 inside reversal which works by (insideBarPrev) confirming that yesterday's bar (bar 1) was an inside bar compared to the day before, and
(twoUpToday) confirming that today’s high > yesterday’s high, and today’s low ≥ yesterday’s low, which defines a 2↑ bar. Combined, this gives you the “1-2 Up” pattern — a key STRAT entry signal.

Charts will look similar to this:

It looks like the candlestick Pattern in your image is a "normal" bullish reversal pattern, or a Three-Bar Reversal / Bullish Reversal After Exhaustion pattern where 3 or more red candles (lower highs and lower lows), followed by a bullish candle that Closes above the prior candle’s high, and sometimes engulfs the previous candle body.

These can be scanned by creating a pattern and using that indicator in the scan...
