How can i change localization of storage/symlink

this is my structure: https://i.imgur.com/6i87Shl.png

if i use command like "storage:link" i get "no such file or directory" i wanted to connect storage with public_html/files or something like this

its on share hosting, i have access to ssh

AppServiceProvider

  public function register()
    {
        $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
            return base_path().'/../public_html';
          });
    }

FileSystems.php

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Filesystem Disk
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you may specify the default filesystem disk that should be used
    | by the framework. The "local" disk, as well as a variety of cloud
    | based disks are available to your application. Just store away!
    |
    */

    'default' => env('FILESYSTEM_DRIVER', 'local'),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Filesystem Disks
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you may configure as many filesystem "disks" as you wish, and you
    | may even configure multiple disks of the same driver. Defaults have
    | been setup for each driver as an example of the required options.
    |
    | Supported Drivers: "local", "ftp", "sftp", "s3"
    |
    */

    'disks' => [

        'local' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app'),
        ],

        'public' => [
            'driver' => 'local',

            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

        's3' => [
            'driver' => 's3',

    | the locations of the links and the values should be their targets.
    |
    */

    'links' => [
        public_path('/../public_html') => storage_path('app/public'),
