I download and install "btcrecover-master"
but I am not sure witch command I need to use, I think its not support my case
I'll just clarify this part as heads up to those who use BTCRecover.

Yes your hunch is correct.
The only related args are --bip38-enc-privkey which takes a valid BIP38 private key and --bip38-currency which defaults to bitcoin.
BTCRecover can only bruteforce the BIP38 encrypted private key's password with the tokenlist but not the missing characters from the encrypted private key itself.

I *think* that should be able to get you what you need.
Do you know the position of the missing character?

It should be 2 rows of 29 letter each
I have one row with 28 and the other with 29 , so it narrow it down....

thank you !!!
