why not just create a custom menu section in the existing sidebar using our inbuilt way? Just click the “+” sign at the bottom of the existing sidebar to create a new menu section:

You can make it for yourself only or global for all users (if you are admin)

Also, there are plugin outlets at top and bottom of sidebar:

You can see that I have a custom menu section called “Lillys Stuff” that is collapsed.
