First, your track is good!
Sidechain is all about making a 'pump' or 'breathing' fake bass.
So a sound that 'lives' of-beat, that is what is sought off.
How to actually implement
that is completely open, but compressor-sidechaining to a kick, is a
common way to achieve it.
Two advantages:
The sound used for the pump-bass will duck at on-beat, and leave this free for the kick-frequencies, and you have the sound maximized at off-beat.
But a drawn automation-pattern could also be a solution, and you could leave the compressor out. Did that explain it?
