Flash TWRP in the FOTAkernel mode

Hello everyone!
I'm here to ask help with my Xperia ZL.
I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the last TWRP odin available as boot.img through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img), flashed LineageOS 14.1, Open GApps, SuperSU and everything is ok, phone working 1000x better than the stock Sony rom and rooted.
The problem is that my TWRP gone from the recovery. The recovery available is the LineageOS recovery, very limited. After some google, i found that sony don't have a recovery partition, so the custom os overwrite the recovery and bla bla bla.... So, i found that is possible to flash the recovery to the FOTAKernel to maintain my TWRP after flash a custom rom. I tried using the Xperia Recovery Manager, but the app stuck on my device when i try to format or flash fota, i tried Flashfy, but the app stuck when i go to select the file to flash...
So, i'm here to ask to you: "How is the best way to flash twrp in my fotakernel, to maintain it as my primary recovery even after flash any custom rom?"
I'm available for discuss and waiting for you help. Thanks anyway

The TWRP homepage lists using a terminal emulator in LOS as an option: (Link)

This device hasn´t recovery partition, stock recovery interface is a part of the stock boot, when you flashed a custom rom it was overwritten but if you already flashed the TWRP installer what you can do now is to flash stock boot or a backup of the boot that you´re using but you´ll lose Magisk or a custom kernel if you have it.
The better is then to set up all included Magisk not to flash TWRP installer.

If you have twrp recovery installed than just download these files
Rmm by pass
No verity .zip
Download rom you wanna install
For aosp roms download flame gapps
Get this all stuff in usb or sd card
Boot into twrp
Completely format your device
Flash no verity .zip
Flash rmm by pass.zip
Reboot again in twrp
Flash rom
If flashing aosp roms like lineage rom
Than flash the os package
Flash gapps
Reboot

Sorry, but i don't have the the TWRP installed. The process is the same with the addition of the TWRP installation?
