I am on lever 245 and have been for weeks.

I cannot get a wrapped and a striped candy next to each other 5 times to swap them. Is there some kind of secret to doing this level? Don't have enough helps to do any good

No secret, just create as many as you can. Try and focus on the columns next to the ones you have created to get them to drop next to each other. Check out this version of the level, hopefully it will help:
