Looking to get some opinions on what's the best course of action for installing a dash cam in 2014 Polo SEL 6c.
Essentially, my plan was to use a hardwire kit for my Thinkware F770, which requires two fuse connections (battery - always live, and accessory - ignition live) for parking mode to work, connecting them with two add-a-fuse piggyback connectors with 3 amp additional fuses. I have managed to successfully connect the "battery" connection, but the "accessory" line is proving more difficult. This is because the fuse port options I believe I can use are obstructed by the fuse box housing or other fuses, meaning I can't plug the add-a-fuse adapter in correctly (hot side down, cable coming out of top, fuses to the right). I think because my car doesn't have many extra electrical options, there are fewer fuses to choose from and no other wired in ports, which makes it a little more complicated.
Below is a schematic of my fuse box showing the fuses I believe are usable by the current fuse ratings and ones which are not for important things in green. The slots in red are ones I believe aren't suitable, grey is blank slots and yellow is the slot I've used for "battery" power. My reference for this suitability is from a fuse layout document (see edit below) that iichel thankfully provided.

Ideally I would like to use either 23 or 27 as they will provide enough amperage room (add-a-fuse is max 20 amp), but I cannot get the add-a-fuse to physically fit past fuses 38 and 40 fit. I've tested with fuse 24 just to make sure the camera is working, but this is already over the 20 amp rating and is for some high power draw items, so I don't think this can be used long term.
Here is a picture of the actual fuse box, just for some context.

Can any of you see a possible solution to this problem? I've exhausted my electrical wiring knowledge so any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TM

EDIT: It's 2022 and people seem to need that fuse diagram, which became a protected link at some point for some reason. I've exported the images and moved it over to Imgur so it should be accessible again, enjoy!
