Should I have 2 intake and 1 exhaust or 2 exhaust and one intake?

[Detevtive Marvel]

For my gaming pc I can only fit 3 fans, should I have 2 exhaust (rear and top) with 1 intake (side) or 2 intake (side and top) and 1 exhaust (rear)

For good linear airflow, you should probably use two intakes at the front and one exhaust at the rear or top.

I can't put on in the top

That's OK, the rear will work as well.

Sos I mean front the only place i can put fans are the side rear and top

You'll be able to use the front, never heard of a case with no front fans.

Antec One s3 I can't find any screws that will work with the front case they are smaller than normal ones if you find out which ones I need please let me know

You'll probably have to pop the front off, it's a 120mm fan.

I need the screws though they are too small for any screw I have

A roof and rear exhaust with a side intake is great for cooling. but you won't get a positive pressure flow which many prefer for its alleged dust reduction.
