here's what I've done so far but I'm missing the C terminal which was not used on the old Honeywell
my heat pump is a Rheem there's an orange unstripped wire

I'd like to do this myself

If you turn off power and open the indoor unit you will find the other end of the tstat wiring.

The L wire should go out to the out door unit.

If the orange wire (can't see it in the pic) is not connected at the indoor unit, connect it to "C" at both the indoor unit and tstat. But, depending on manufacturer and age it could be "X" or "B" at the indoor unit.

Should be fine.
