How can I transition my 8 month old from purés to more solids foods I’m struggling and I feel that is not much information out there and I feel like I’m a terrible mum 😭

Solid starts has some good info on what to serve and how to cut it but basically they can eat whatever you do without added sugar or salt, no honey under 1.
No marshmallows, whole nuts or popcorn under 5.
Give steamed veg, meat, fish, fruit, yogurt, toast etc

You aren't a terrible mum! One way of starting could be puree with more texture to it, so not blended finely.
But I found some great things for my little girl was steamed carrot and sweet potato as they are so soft (and delicious)
Definitely agree with Natalie on Solid Starts, you can download the app for free and search foods and see how is best to serve them.
I'd say definitely start off with stuff they know (i could be totally wrong though, this just feels more like the way about it) so things that can very easily turn to mush and go from there.
I find mine has days she'll eat certain foods, and days she won't. Altho her firm favourite seems to be chicken 🤣

I know it can be so scary at first! We got a baby steamer and did lots of fruit and veg, then moved on to things like toast. We found things like ellas kitchen melty sticks and melty puffs really helped him learn to hold and nibble food himself too! There are some really good BLW books as well on Amazon if you are really stuck!

You aren’t a terrible mum at all! Have you thought about buying a weaning book? A lot of them have recipes and advice on prepping the foods! How to wean your baby really helped us :) x
