How to trim encrypted volume?

Hi all,
I read Archwiki a lot but I didn't find a definitive answer. I have two Arch installs and none of them can trim the encrypted SSD. I'm about to install Arch on a new laptop and I definitely want trim to work on that. I'm going to use Archinstall and I need FDE, so it's going to be LUKS and the file system is Btrfs. How can I set it up to be trimmable? Thanks!

I already read this. It is not helping. I was hoping someone could write down the steps.

They are written - step by step in the wiki. What point is there to repeat the same thing? What of these instructions isn't clear to you? Is there a language barrier?
