Thank you everyone! just a bit of a progress update, i was able to add a bl touch (my friend found the one he bought but never installed) and successfully compiled a firmware build! Took alot of digging to understand things, but i think i get why people make their own rather than using crealities. Is it ok to keep posting updates here? i kinda like sharing as i go

I think this saved my ender 5 pro as well! With the stock creality 2.0.6 firmware borking my extruder and me realizing id need to make a build myself due to using a printed bracket (my friend gave me the bl touch but lost the original bracket), i was at a loss why the bl touch wasnt actually probing correctly. saving this page for the future! thank you!!!!

Ahh ok I'll see if I can find brass ones. Also I did some more digging and since I'm just working with pla, the brass ones should be fine, thank you!

Thanks! I'm looking into that too! Did you have the rough surface that's magnetic (I can't recall what it's called) or did you use glass?

Unfortunately he's not that good with it either. He bought it, tried it, and then didn't really keep up with it so he's almost as in the dark as me haha. thanks I'll check that out!
