<script type="text/javascript" src="https://patronQR.com/connect/main.js"></script>
<patronqr-connect id="27357" color="#3880ff" position="right"></patronqr-connect>
<!-- End of patronQR™ Connect Code -->

Put it in a custom module and set the position to a non existent one.

You can put it in the index.php of the Template or write a Plugin.

There are many extensions that allow inserting of custom code such as https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... sert-code/ and more, found here https://extensions.joomla.org/tags/custom-code-in-head/

What error? Please be specific with the information you're giving.

Perhaps the error is in the code you're trying to paste, and not with Joomla.
