Hi Altherenz,
To get a fast sidespin serve you need to contact the ball on the side of the ball but hit the ball quite fast and reasonably flat.
Make sure you are hitting the ball onto your side of the table really close to you. Also focus on making sure the ball goes low over the net. Then it is a matter of practicing.
You can also take a look at this previous video response to an Ask the Coach question on Fast serve down the line.
