Using an ordinary telescope with a 20x lens magnification (without the useless barlow lens), and I have a FujiFilm FinePix S2980 Camera (The problem is there is no proper place to put the camera lens on the prism) Can you tell me how?

You can get adapters to take cameras now, best ask at a good astronomy optics shop.
You will need to get the angle correct that the camera looks at the eyepiece (this is where an adapter will win over hand held). I used a simple camera this way taking shots of the moon and got around 5 out of 15 spot on.
People will need to know the details of the scope. Focal length, size etc.
One other problem, as we are all in motion in this universe, the Earth is on its orbit, Saturn is on its own, you may need to have motors to track. Last time I tried on a fixed mount I had a blurred trail. Someone else will have done this better than me and will be able to answer.
Not knowing what your camera is like, timed exposures may be required
What is wrong with the barlow? I have used one in combination with a SLR camera and got some good results usin the moon as a muse.
Most of all, it is digital. If it gets messed up, take a deep breath and try again.
