Hi Mahmoud,
Try hitting the ball from a lower height. Perhaps you are not allowing it to drop enough after you throw it up. To get more spin, contact the ball a bit flatter.
To practice serving lower take aloof at our lesson on Keeping The Ball Low. This will help you to focus on the height of your serving.
The serve is basically a Pendulum serve. We have lots of other tips on the Pendulum serve in our Serving Secrets course as part of our Premium Membership.

The Kicker Serve
The kicker serve is one of our "must learn" serves. It's fast, fun, and has lots of topspin. It can be dangerous because if it's not fast enough and if you don't surprise your opponent then they may be able to attack it forcefully putting you on the defensive straight away. Used well though, and sparingly, it can be a great weapon. It can win you a point outright and it will stop your opponent from standing over the table waiting for your short serves since they need to be ready for anything.

but actually backspin service always comes low if there is a high toss.
