(1.16.4/1.16.5) How can I put custom 3D items into the head slot of the player (Not with the replaceitem command.)?

I want his item to go onto my head, but I don't know how I do that with 3D items. (I have created armor in my mod but I don't think you can have 3D Items as helmet.)

you can use a Layer Rendererer.

check the Elytra Layer for some reference

I'm new to modding so I don't know how I can see that and which layer renderer do you recommend me?

if you're on intelliJ, you can triple-shift iirc to open a search bar, then search for the Elytra Layer and you can see it's code.  if anything you can just google how to search for files in your IDE

wdym? you should create your own layer renderer, and override the render method.

you "register" it by listening to the RenderPlayerEvent, and then adding a new instance of it to the player renderer
