It could be possible i guess, would this mean that
if a simulation reaches high enough technology know how
to create their own simulation that there could endless
simulations inside of simulations?

No the Simulation would probaly end at that point.

Btw. If we are a simulation it is pretty useless to talk about it because we as the inhabitants cant differ simulation from reality because it is the same for us.

According to Elon Musk, there's one in a billion chance that we're living in base reality. It seems that he's persuaded by the 'simulation argument'. It's an idea by philosopher and futurologist Nick Bostrom which states that our future descendants have created simulations by the millions, so that makes it possible that we are living in one now.
