Starter replacement pt2 😭

Little update on my starter replacement nightmare. After replacing the starter I tried to start the car & got no crank. Tested the battery & it displayed 11.4v, told by multiple ppl that should be enough to crank but everywhere else I read said I need at least 12.2. Got a replacement battery and still no crank, checked I had voltage at the positive going to the starter(I did) & all of my fuses besides F85,F87,F88, & F89 had power going to them. The ibs adapter sensor in the first picture had 3 wires & one showed 12v & the other two showed 9v to 3v(small grey & red wires)
Am I looking at a potential wiring issue? I’ve seen rats love the wiring in our beloved BMWs & I fortunately live in Baltimore where rats scare the cats off
