Go to 5th gen and look for or tag Jimmy07. He is the electrical genius. He makes different harnesses for adding accessories for people, and chimes in on electrical issues.

To mount the 23 tailgate on a 2014, you need to swap over the passenger side tailgate hinge from the 2014 tailgate to the 23 tailgate.
You’ll also need to fabricate your 2014 rear camera into the new tailgate handle.
As far as wiring, here’s a link to where I explain it. As far as I know, a pre-2016 BCM will not allow for the handle release circuit to go into a “locked” state.
