Ok, after a night of sleeping on it, got it figured out.

Even though I loaded it in the child theme and assigned an URL to it, it was trying to pull the actual JQuery from the parent theme.

So now the function is still in the Child theme's functions.php file while the actual Jquery is located in a folder in the parent's theme.

The CSS that was added to the customizer:

i.fas.\.fa-camera {
    content: '\f030';
}

Here is my code in Functions.php. You can see the Jquery in the URL.

function change_icon_function() {
  wp_enqueue_script( 'change-icon', get_template_directory_uri() . '/https://gardenerspath.com/public_html/wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/js/change-icon.js');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts','change_icon_function');

@astgh I did. Someone else that you gave similar codes to also had this type of issue.

I added to HEADERS AND FOOTERS PLUGIN. Does nothing in the footer, writes it to the top of the page in the header.
I added it directly to FUNCTIONS.PHP - white screen of death.
I placed it in its own file and tried to call it like this with no result:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_my_script' );
function add_my_script() {
    wp_enqueue_script(
        'change-icon',
        get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/change-icon.js',
        array('jquery') 
    );
}

@astgh Is that Jquery code supposed by wrapped in anything? Does nothing when added via headers and footers plugin. Causes white screen of death when added to the child theme's function.php.

I've been at this 3-4 days now (can you tell I'm not a developer)?

Please, please, what is the easiest way to change the paperclip icon to a camera icon?

I've seen CSS methods and JQuery Methods and regular JS methods, but I have yet to get one to work. Font Awesome, regular SVGs, I don't care.

I can navigate to any WP folder, etc. I've been building sites for about 7 years, but I'm not a coder.

I was going to try to replace Font Awesome with 100% SVGs OR delete the unused Font Awesome files, but that is above my pay grade.
