Hi Judah,
The contact point for a side backspin serve is towards the end of your bat. you should hit the ball when it is in front of you near your left hip.
To make a backhand counter topspin off a smash you need to get yourself into a good position. Try to get the ball near your right hip and then play a same stroke as a really big topspin stroke. Watch the ball carefully all the way to your bat.
