3) I've tried multiple slots and orientations. Does orientation actually matter if both slots have fuses? Would like to rule that out as a possibility for further testing.
The camera does work when plugged into a cigarette lighter. I tried the ground screw both under the bolt head and behind the fuse panel against the sheetmetal. Any ideas or something dumb I'm doing?
Thanks

It looks like you are using the correct fuse tap. If the original fuse fits into it then it is correct.
I would think that it should work with just the ACC wire connected but make sure you are using a fuse slot that will work for that.
Fuse position within the fuse tap and the fuse tap orientation when connected to the fuse block does matter. If the fuse tap is plugged into the fuse block backwards then power won't get to the new circuit. In your picture it looks like you have the fuse tap plugged in the wrong way, remove it and reinstall it in the opposite orientation.
Here is the fuse block on my '19 T4R ORP with my Blackvue dash cam connected. It has both the ACC and BATT wires connected but I don't remember which is which. Notice the orientation of the fuse tap (brake pedal is to the right). I connected the GND wire to the fuse block mounting bolt. I used my multimeter to verify that each connection was correct.
ETA: It appears that your image is reversed (numbers appear backwards).
