So i bought tailgate handle part# 6RN79GW7AA. On store site I purchased from, states it does fit my truck. I tried to swap over to my 2021 2500 and the handle assembly fits, but camera/bracket doesn’t. I don’t have any pictures but the bracket holding the cameras are different. And they’re NOT interchangeable. I tried.

There’s two different handles for each body color style- one for the surround view camera system, and one for regular backup camera. The backup camera for the surround view system is bigger and mounts different. I’m guessing you have surround view (your backup camera is dark navy blue, not pink)?
If so, you need 6RN80GW7AA.

Damn, wished I would’ve known that beforehand lol. Yes, i have the surround. It definitely is bigger than the existing hole on the new handle. What do you mean by dark navy blue? The lenses itself? Also, does 6RN80GW7AA match with power wagon’s bright white? I did notice the one i got is much whiter.

I just mean the plastic camera body is dark navy, almost black, as opposed to the regular backup camera body is pink.
The handle part number I provided is bright white. The “W7” in the part number refers to the paint code- PW7 is bright white.

Yes, looked black to me. Camera was bigger than what the hole in the new handle would fit. Thanks! Appreciate you clearing up the confusion and supplying correct part#.
