How to Return from Mun/ minums & land near KSC?

[Carrot]

I know how to come back but my problem is to aim the landing spot. tried to aim 40km above ksc like in LKO but it would miss like crazy (because of the rotation and high orbit)

Is there a better way to aim? I always want to aim the ocean between ksc and island airport

do you use Trajectories Mod?

Circularize in vLKO (in the 70 to 90 km ASL band) before attempting re-entry. less futzy orbit planning will be required.

Here's my method:

(1)  Place your Pe over Kerbin at an altitude of about 25 km.  Note the location of the Pe relative to the terrain.
(2)  Note the time to periapsis.  Drop the number of days and concern yourself only with hours and minutes.
(3)  Determine how many degrees Kerbin will rotate in the time found in step #2.  Kerbin rotates 60 degrees per hour and 1 degree per minute.
(4)  The landing site will be westward of the Pe by the number of degrees determined in step #3.

If you don't like where the landing site is located, you can delay your return from Mun/Minmus another orbit or more until the landing site is more suitable.  If you have an orbital period of, say, 45 minutes, then each orbit you delay will move the landing site another 45 degrees westward.
