Hi everyone this summer i've harvested some carolina reaper and frozen till i found some good recepe to use them. Time passed and i havent had any luck mostly because i dont know what to search for.

I made a killer sauce by taking that exact chili sauce in your photo and blending it together with pickled habaneros until it was as hot as I wanted. With your reapers, you could do a refrigerator pickle and let them sit in the brine for a week or two to make sure it has thoroughly penetrated, then simply blend.
Make it yourself!
Silly question to start: have you tried some of your peppers yet to see how they hit? How spicy and what kind of heat are your reapers?
It’s not just about the seed; conditions and cultivation matters. My wife grows peppers for me and few years ago she did a batch of ghost peppers that wasn’t smacking with a nibble. I made a white vinegar based sauce and it built heat to a discomforting level exactly as expected. Still have two half bottles I’m working through.
The great thing about Thai sauces like the one pictured is the balance of sweet & spicy. Honestly I would start with just adding some of your chilis chopped up fine to a bit of that bottled sauce, see how the extra heat plays. It would take a ton of sugar/simple syrup concentrated sugar to balance a really hot pepper, and that’s often what Thai recipes call for.
Nam chim Kai is the sauce. Adjust chilis to taste. https://hungryinthailand.com/thai-sweet-chili-sauce/
Elements of rice wine vinegar, sugar, maybe msg, orange
Before I scrolled down and saw it was a sauce i did, in fact, think this was a lava lamp
