I just find a stranger ape who is hurt so how do i highlight him to see his needs ?

[Symatrix Hill]

I have collect some healing plant but i can`t highlight him to track his needs for the to get his trust and add him to my clan.

I don`t know what to do because i am not able to enter him or give him stuff or highlight him.

You can't examine him to see anything until he joins your troop. You have to look at the apes action to try and determine what it needs. Also, in order to give an ape something, you can be standing next to them, not climbing. If the ape is on a branch, you may need to go up further and actually walk through it, then turn around, before you can give it something. And make sure the item you want to give is in your right hand.

you don't and CAN'T see the needs Watch how they are acting & provide the cure item or a hug.

So far I've encountered:

Head Holding & Groaning = Thirsty, Give a Cracked Coco

Arm holding = Broken bone, Give Red Leaf Paste, or Horsetail fern

Blood soaked = Bleeding, give Horsetail paste, Khat Pods (Easiest to find), or Khat Paste

Caughing = Poisoned, Give Honey or Cracked Coco

Paniced = Scared crapless, drop all items & reasure

Being Eaten = Going to Die, Kill the Predator & reasure also give bleeding cure & bone brake cure otherwise they might still die.

goes without saying you need to eat or use each cure at least once or they won't accept also you may need to crack the coco near them to use it.

I went back to do as you said and it work :) but it was very hard to get him back to my base because of the pathfinding issue the AI have to that stage i almost give up when i have try more than 24 hour in the game.

Ty for your help and ty to Torkkar as well for all your information.
