which other lights aren`t working ?
I cant see a specific fuse for the reverse lights, but there are a few for lighting, so if you have anything else not working it may help,
have you checked the fuses behind the coin tray in the cabin ?
Fuse 5 is for Tail and parking lights.

I haven't got a multi meter to test if I have got 12v at rear. But I wired in red wire to brown on back reverse then black to black on back light then ran wire from brown wire to reverse wire on back my head unit , went turn it on then there's no reverse beep or light
