Update based on useybrain answer as I forgot the trailing letters (but I do not handle here the newly added "_main" condition)

not working.
I have DIFERENT DATES! And I dont want "_T" and "_E" on end of the name.
And sometimes I have:
ALEKSANDER PLACE _main_20220304050607_T.jpg

and I want:
ch1_20220304050607.jpg

I want:
erase EVERTING AT START AND END WITHOUT "20220304050607" (12 numbers) + ADD "ch1_" BEFORE DATE.
