I need help making synths like these, what's the sound design behind them, I spent hours messing with waves, filters and envelopes and I still can't figure out how, is there something I'm missing?
I wanna atleast know some of the characteristics of the synths so i know what types to look for or to make them

You kinda have to narrow it down to 1 or two specific sounds and give time stamps so we know which one(s) you mean

Radio Love Vital Preset + midi
brandUn DeShay _ The Jet Age of Tomorrow - Radio Love.zip
The midi panning doesn't work for me in FL.
Does anyone know how to make this work with Vital?

2 Vital presets + midi

I could very well have the midi wrong because it's hard for me to hear the individual chords.
But once you open the 2nd preset (which is the same as the first but an octave up + LFO's)
Then you'll see what I mean.

Use same midi for both

The chord progression is based on parallel harmony, quite common in electronic music. Every chord contains same intervals. In this case all chords have six notes consisting of three minor third intervals. And each interval is perfect fifth apart.

All notes are playing saw waveform with soft character, maybe lowpass filtered or from FM synth.
Sine LFO at about 4.4 Hz is modulating pitch of the highest 4 notes. The lowest 2 notes don't have any pitch modulation.
Maybe the producer or artist was playing just two MIDI notes in each chord, the minor third interval. And the synth patch contains three oscillators tuned 5th apart, pitch LFO applied to two highest pitch OSCs. The OSC volume levels also affect the sound character. The lowest pitch OSC seems to have a bit lower volume than other OSCs, and there might be MIDI velocity modulation applied to OSC volumes.

The whole chord progression would look like this:
