how to make my serve short and to the side

Hi Orr,

To get the serve short you need to brush the ball finer.  This will mean the ball has less forward momentum as the energy is going into the spinning rather than the moving forward.

If you want to get it to the side, the best way is to put a target on the table where you want the ball to go and then end some time in training practicing this.  You will be surprised how quickly you can improve this skill.
