Help me compress files much more efficently

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here so I do apologise in advance if I posted this in the wrong thread
But I recently got into repacking games, and I use a lot of tools to do so
However most games I compress, they only go down by a few GB compared to many repackers who has it down by 10s of GBs, how can I also compress games down by a lot?
I have attached an image of what I am using to repack my games and make bin files for setups
Thanks very much

Best way is download some files of here and use different settings to see how it works and you'll get some that won't go down much due to game coding as it can prevent it from compression so as not to damage the files as be waste time doing only to have redo it again.

I see, ill look around the forum and see which code would work best for me
Although is it required to use SRep for maximum compression? Because I removed SRep from my code because it always gave me an error when I compressed games over 1GB, and most of the games I compress are like 50GB+
