I tried my best to find the definition of scoring in the troughs and I just couldn’t find it. I could use some help. Is scoring considered just touching my trough and not my team’s robot? What if both robots are touching a game piece? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Before posting on the Q&A, we ask that you carefully read the manual . The answer to your question is taken straight from the definition of Scored.
VEX Sack Attack Game Manual:
Scored – A Scoring Object is Scored in a Goal if it meets one of the following criteria.
A Scoring Object is partially within the three-dimensional space defined by the outer edges of a Trough or High Goal, projected upwards and infinitely perpendicular to the playing field.
A Scoring Object is touching a Floor Goal, and not touching any other foam tiles.
For a Scoring Object to count under either clause, it must remain in a Scored position, if/when all Robots were removed from the field. (By removed, we mean removing the robot and its contents from the field. Referees will be instructed to gently pull robots away from the Goal if necessary) i.e. The Scoring Object must not be supported by the Robot.
