Internet is a marvelous tool BUT not everything you find is specific.
OPs fridge has an adjustable temp set point control on upper panel. That is what is used to adjust temp with. His thermistor goes on far right fin mid-position.
Moving a thermistor UP/DOWN will affect fridge temps (minor 4*-6*F overall) on models with 'Auto Temp Control' They will NOT have an adjustable temp setting on upper control panel.
They will have an 'indicator' on sidewall of food section by thermistor (Like the blue strip in video) indicating direction of movement for thermistor adjustment.
OPs fridge does NOT have that.....put the clip mid-position with tip of thermistor just sticking out top of clip
Drain tube.
OPs fridge has a drip tube drain plug with small holes in it.
It acts as a plug to keep insects/bugs out and the small holes allow condensate to drip out......very slow rate which acts as a vapor barrier to stop warm air from entering.
OP............
Your warm fridge is due to lack of outside fan operation and/or lack of proper installation clearances/airflow obstructions/dead air spaces.
RV absorption fridges require very narrow clearances so that air flow (Draft) is up/thru/across absorber tubes and evap/condenser fins
16*F in freezer and 40-50*F in food compartment....insufficient air flow
You need to return to dealer and have fridge air flow issues addressed
