How do I check given a vector2 if it’s within a frame inside the screen or not and keep in mind I want it to take into account resolution how would I do it?

You can use the absolute position and absolute size of the frame. Then just compare thd points to those. Like do

local testPoint = inputVec -frame.AbsolutePosition
if testPoint.X >= 0 and testPoint.Y >= 0 then
    return (testPoint.X <= frame.AbsoluteSize.X and testPoint.Y <= frame.absoluteSize.Y)
end
return false

Works fine for me. You might be having issues with the GUI inset which breaks everything and makes no sense.

local function isPointInFrame(vec2, frame)
	local testPoint = vec2 -frame.AbsolutePosition
	if testPoint.X >= 0 and testPoint.Y >= 0 then
		return (testPoint.X <= frame.AbsoluteSize.X and testPoint.Y <= frame.absoluteSize.Y)
	end
	return false
end

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local inset = game:GetService("GuiService"):GetGuiInset()

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	local mouse = UserInputService:GetMouseLocation() - inset
	if isPointInFrame(mouse, script.Parent.Frame) then
		script.Parent.Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0,1,0)
	else
		script.Parent.Frame.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(1, 0, 0)
	end
end)

what is gui insect and how can I use it to fix it

That frame is at position 0,0. Gui inset simply describes that offset that is applied automatically. So by substracting the inset vector from the mouse position you can make it actually accurate. The code I provided does that for example.
