So you added the secret to the file and restarted the docker container, right?
Something that I think will help you with self-hosting in the future is to always read through the entire process for setting up whatever you want to set up first, beginning to end, so that you are familiar with what you need to do before attempting it the first time. It's helped me numerous times myself.
Which config file does it go in? Where does it go in that file? Do you literally just put "registration_shared_secret" or does it need a value? What is the syntax of setting the value? Does it accept spaces, special characters, etc.?
As it says in the image, the file is /data/homeserver.yaml. Your other questions are all answered by looking at the way the file is formatted.
