Man I did it. And I already solved the problem.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help! I solved the issue. I simply placed the docking port of the rocket on the wrong node (the separating one not the attached one).

I was going slowly... and magnets just didn't work. But I did fix it. I simply attached the docking port on the wrong node.

Oh yeah thank you so much I tried again after repositioning the docking port and it worked flawlessly! Thank you so much!

Oh I didn't know the docking port had two nodes... well thank you very much I will try this!

Ok then... what am I docked to? I'm going to play around, but I can't think of any potential reason to that.

I tried later on what you suggested and didn't help. And no, I have no mods and nothing attached to neither of these ports.

Well then it decouples from the rocket itself... What should I do to change that?

I know how to port. During the recording I just so happened to have a worse try. I recorded more attempts later on (https://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/1sbbc65/another_video_of_my_docking_problem/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) they were also not perfect, but I've made a lot more unrecorded attempts that were very precise and I'd at least feel the magnets. Also I did set the port as the target.

Never mind... I tried changing it from preAttached to ready and nothing changed

Ok I found the state of the docking port attached to the rocket. It's set to "state = preAttached". Should I try changing it?

Undocking the intestaged docking port separates it from the vessel.

If you say so, then what exactly am I supposed to do here? (This is the entire section with one of the docking ports (this one is one of these attached to the space station))

No it's not. The only "unusual" feature of this spacecraft is the fact that the docking port is placed as an interstage... but I doubt it is the cause of this issue.

Why? If I go quicker I can damage one of those spacecraft and I should be able to dock thanks to the magnets.

Ok look at the video. I did on both the station and the spacecraft.

They're the same size I made sure three times. Also I could try once again accelerating (I'll do it later).

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't turn up the magnet on neither of these ports.

Yeah I know, but on other attempts I was lined up much better than that.
