My big issue now, I have all the cables where I need them, I just can’t figure out a way to remove the thing that holds the license plate bulb. I feel like if I pry too hard it will break, which I definitely want to avoid.

My stereo has a specific cable for the reverse camera, I assume this is for the power?

If the connector on you headunit is a simple RCA jack then it does not include 12V to power the camera. You will need to provide 12V and GND. I looked for a user manual for your specific model but couldn't find one easily. It looks like you have power and ground wires on the lens (maybe for licence plate illumination) and a red connector with also power and ground for the camera?
