Hello guys, I hope you are all ok!
I want to ask something, i hope i can explain clearly;

I want to add a new field to profile settings page (site.com/profile/settings/profile_id=???) but i don't want to use form designer or edit jrProfile's php files. Is there a way to add a field to a module from another module? I have a custom module which i created for some additional functions. If it's possible i want this field to be added by my custom module. Note that i have very limited coding experience and knowledge.

It is possible - you'd need to add a 'form_display' listener to your custom module and code that to detect the profile/settings forum then insert the field. Plenty of Jamroom modules do this. Here's the listener code from the Birthday module so maybe you can use that as a guide -
function jrBirthday_form_display_listener($_data, $_user, $_conf, $_args, $event)
{
    if (isset($_data['form_view']) && $_data['form_view'] == 'jrUser/account') {
        // Add in birthdate field
        $_ln = jrUser_load_lang_strings();
        $_tm = array(
            'name'          => 'user_birthdate',
            'label'         => $_ln['jrBirthday'][1],
            'sublabel'      => $_ln['jrBirthday'][3],
            'help'          => $_ln['jrBirthday'][2],
            'type'          => 'date_birthday',
            'validate'      => 'date_birthday',
            'exclude_year'  => true,
            'required'      => false,
            'form_designer' => false
        );
        jrCore_form_field_create($_tm);
    }
    return $_data;
}

Don't forget to 'register' the listener in the custom module init function -
    jrCore_register_event_listener('jrCore', 'form_display', 'jrBirthday_form_display_listener');
