Setup has been a Nightmare
Either what CJPeckover said with the external library or import them via the cli.
Don't just point the
/usr/src/app/upload to your existing photos. Immich has it's own folder structure and does not like anyone other than immich touching that. You could map your existing plex stuff to something like /external-media/plex or something and access this via external library in immich. If you just trying to 'learn' immich and discover first, you might be better off with a smaller set of images first.
Immich does reject 'exact duplicates' from being uploaded (not in external library)
Follow the docs on https://immich.app/docs/overview/introduction/, ask questions here. Don't be too dramatic with stuff like 'Wasted my life!'.
We are here to help :)

Why do you want to have your media in external libraries and not directly in immich?

I would suggest the exact opposite. The immich magic works best with data managed directly by immich (meaning not an external library) Immich only checks for duplicates if the assets are not in an external library. So I would suggest that you import the external libraries into immich via cli and let immich deduplicate.

there should be no (exact) duplicates. if there are, you could clean them up via the deduplication tool https://my.immich.app/utilities/duplicates
