I have tried adding {tags} to a metadata plugin, to the send books to device section, and to the kobo touch extended plugin (not all at once) without any luck. I am not really literate when it comes to such programming.

Yes. There are a couple of ways you could try. Both of them will need you to also install the
Kobo Utilites calibre plugin. Then use its option labelled 'Update metadata in device library'.
Which one you use would depend on whether you prefer to see the tags info in the main book list or whether you want to see it appended/prepended to the book synopsis when you look at book details via the Kobo View Details menu option.
The former (in booklist) is the simpler option if you're not comfortable with calibre's metadata plugboards. See the 2 red circles in the attached screencap. The tags info will appear in the book list, under the book title. As a bonus it will also automatically appear under the book title shown on the View Details page.
See the blue circle in the attached screencap for a very simple way to show calibre's publication date in the Kobo book details (DETAILS tab in the Publisher field).

I don't know of a way to do that.
