What are you trying to fix? When you have a question, be very specific so I do not have to guess.
I would set the turbo ratios to the recommended values that are listed in the Turbo Ratio Limits section. Setting them all to 37 limits maximum performance. Are you deliberately slowing the CPU down to reduce heat?
Not sure why your Core Voltage is set to a ridiculous value. Check the Unlock Adjustable Voltage box, set it to Adaptive and move the slider all the way to the left until it says Default in the voltage box.
Do not use HWMonitor to report the FIVR voltages. It is not 100% accurate.
You can trust the FIVR monitoring table to report the FIVR voltages.
I managed to solve the problem, I really appreciate your help. Do you have any tips for undervolting?
Is it necessary to have the same voltage on the cores and the cache? And what is the danger of not having the same voltage?

I have never done any hands on testing of an 11400H so you will have to find out what works best for your CPU. No two CPUs are exactly alike so if you are going to undervolt, you need to test your CPU.
I would suggest starting with the core and cache offsets both set to -50 mV. If you see any errors in the TS Bench or in any other test, you have gone too far. If everything seems OK then you can go further to -60 mV and beyond. Go in baby steps. It is always a good idea to spend a day or two using your computer before going further. Everyone wants to come up with the perfect voltage settings on day one. Take your time making adjustments.
There is no requirement that the core and cache offset have to be set equal to each other. Do some testing with Cinebench. On older 8th and 9th Gen CPUs, setting the core offset value to a bigger number compared to the cache offset value increased performance or decreased temperatures for some users. With some CPUs, depending on what software you are running, it might make zero difference.

The only danger when playing with the voltages is your computer might crash. ThrottleStop does not make any changes to the BIOS. As long as the BIOS resets the voltage register in the CPU like it is supposed to do, your computer should boot right up without any issues after a crash. If there is ever a problem, hold the power button down and completely shut down your computer. This should encourage the BIOS to properly reset everything.
