OK let's try it together. Maybe we can find out in parallel how the
documentation can be approved.

Assume you will connect to test.socksify.com via telnet. Your socksv5
server is bypass.socksify.com:1080 (in fact I don't know neither the
host name nor the port number of their socksv5 server, it is just a
guess).

You need to declare the socksv5 server as proxy:

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             (list "test.socksify.com" nil "/socks:bypass.socksify.com#1080:"))

Then you can connect to test.socksify.com simply via "telnet:test.socksify.com".
