After assembling the camera completely, It is apparent that the kit we recieved may not have come with a power adapter to go from the battery pack to the camera. Could someone post a picture of what this looks like, and where it connects to on the sensor board? You help is much appreciated.

The CMU-Cam is powered off of the RC, via a PWM line. The RC, in turn, draws the power for the PWM from the backup battery. If you are trying to do some bench testing, then I'd reccomend splicing quick-disconnects onto one end of a PWM cable and then connect the PWM cable to the Cam power line, the other end to the backup battery pigtail, and then the pigtail to the battery.
