The ground IS the negative wire.. but regardless it was just a loose connection of my ground wire around the screw... tightened it up and adjusted the angle and for 15 bucks and half a day I have a back up camera.

Best part of this is like an idiot I discovered that I'd been driving with the fuse for my reverse lights blown which makes backing up in general very difficult.
