On the NX, disconnecting the camera making no difference to a black screen, but wiggling the wires causing interference, genuinely points to a wiring fault rather than the camera itself.

Lexus NX Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel
It's rarely a plain plastic panel on the Lexus NX: the rear bumper usually integrates parking sensors and a reversing camera housing, sometimes exhaust trim too, so a seemingly minor kerb scrape can end up needing more than a simple like-for-like swap.
Lexus NX Rear Bumper: What It Does
Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the NX often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Reversing Camera Diagnosis — Lexus NX Rear Bumper
If the reversing camera screen has gone completely dark, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases on related Lexus models describe disconnecting the camera making no difference to a black screen, yet wiggling the wiring sometimes causing interference to appear — pointing toward a wiring fault rather than the camera itself.
It's also worth knowing that retrofitting a genuine OEM reversing camera to a car that didn't come with one can be more involved than simply plugging in a camera.
