It sounds like the vendors didn't send you a reverse gear lead with the proper Japanese terminal to fit the car's 28-pin harness plug. Not good.
When I supply that wire with a camera harness to FR-S owners (and anyone else whose car lacks the reverse gear lead), it has the correct terminal.
Before you can insert (or extract) a terminal, you
do also need to open a retaining latch on the bottom of the 28-pin plug.
