Sorry for the wall of text. Attempted to submit this as it's own topic but I guess it never got approved.
So I recently just got all the parts for my first quad. I've been doing fairly well with the soldering and have been watching a lot of youtube videos regarding how to wire it up, but I'm still having issues.

To my understanding, everything I've done so far should be OK-
I have the ESCs wired to the PDB- two grounds per ESC, one voltage per ESC, and one signal wire going to the motor signal port on the FC.
I have the 12v voltage regulator on the PDB powering the VTX, with the signal wire going to the Video out pin on the FC.
I have the main voltage straight from the XT60 going to the Ground and VBAT pins on the FC.
I have the receiver entirely wired to the FC- 3 wires above the motor, with one going to the TX pin next to the RAM pin.
I also have the camera entirely hooked up to the FC, in the 3 pins above where I have my VTX wired.
I have the 5v pin and the bottom leftmost RAM pin wired together to provide 5v power to the camera.
Here's the issues I'm running into:
1- Don't know which wires to cross from the motors to the ESCs to reverse direction ( Would rather not rely on software to configure direction)
2- When I plug in a battery to test things out, I get a video signal to my FPV goggles but it's just a black screen. No actual video. When I tested them and hooked them up directly to the PDB and the signal wires to each other, it worked fine, but I would rather not do that as it won't give me an OSD.
3- After wiring the RAM & 5v pins together to provide power to the camera, the FC won't power on ( Probably incidentally causing issue 2).
4- How the hell do I mount a camera on this frame?????? Did I get the wrong type? Would this be a better bet? Or slightly cheaper? How do I actually mount these? There's no mounting holes on the bottom of the frame.
4 subsection 1- I've attempted to resolve this issue on my own- Found a model on Thingiverse and printed it, but just wasn't able to get good tolerances, even after a significant amount of sanding. Model in question. Second attempt. Third attempt, no place to mount.
Any and all help or advice is extremely appreciated.
