TheresJustNoMoney

I have an idea for a new alien race to be introduced in a future Trek episode: The Luyelfelovi! I want them to look just like Jack Frost from The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. How do I submit this idea to the Trek workers responsible for introducing new alien races?

Ever seen Jack Frost in that Santa Clause sequel? I want the Luyelfelovi to look just like him.

How do Trek fans like myself submit ideas for new alien races? How do I maximize the chances of said idea being accepted and then used in a future Trek episode?

See Jack Frost to know what the Luyelfelovi will look like: https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Jack_Frost_(The_Santa_Clause)

And what previous alien race ideas have other fans submitted that got successfully accepted and used in any past Trek episode? How did they help their chances of said ideas being accepted?

Nobody involved with the show wants to hear from a fan with an idea. That way lies legal issues. The Trek shows don't accept unsolicited fan submissions anymore.

They'd have to pay you for it. Why would they do that when they already employ writers?

You'd need to find out who's writing the show and contact them. Maybe try the writers of Starfleet Academy.

Besides that they don't take submissions directly for copyright and contract issues, there are additional problems with your elevator pitch such as clearly borrowing the look of the aliens from a Disney property.
