Jenkins side:

Set a new credential: Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Credentials -> Add credential -> Secret Text

2. Configure Github plugin: Jekins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Github -> Advance -> Pick the credential created at step 1.

Github side:

Webhooks -> Manage Webhooks -> Secrets and use the credential created in Jenkins

I hope the instructions work for you
