Place your portrait-oriented, aspect-maintained phone video on a track above, and your landscape-oriented background picture or solid color on a track below.

Sorry I don't understand anything you said. If you want Image Stabilzation, consult your Vegas Help, Interactive Tutorials, What's This?, or resources.

If you want to upload your phone video to drive or Dropbox along with a screenshot of what you are trying to do, I will have a look

I think you are going to have to use what's called a "bezier mask" to do this. Take a look at this tutorial to see how this is done in Vegas Pro. It will take some time to do this and may prove frustrating, but relax, watch the tutorial and give it a try.

.Well, you're not going to do it with Chroma Key, which you certainly did not reveal in your thread starter. You are making a unique special effects request, and I don't address those personally.

You may want to search Bezier Masking in the excellent set of tutorials I provided, but beyond that I'm not able to assist you.

Learning the basic navigation controls and project management in Vegas is usually recommended before taking on such creative, esoteric transformations, and it may take you some time to get up to speed on the fundamentals, although they are well covered in the link provided.

I think you are trying to do a technique similar to what is mentioned in this video (a difference mask?) -
