How to hide the wires.... Often the rear cap is a "False front" (Well rear) as it were, that is there is a gap, as much as six inches between the rear panel and the actual rear wall of the vehicle, this gap carries wires for the tail lights, and such, also it's a good place to hide the wires for the camera.
First: Verify this is the case (slide under and LOOK UP, with a flashlight)
now drill a small hole next to the camera mount bracket, put a clamshell vehtelator over it if you wish (not really needed) once done but shove the wires in the hole, and let 'em drop down the gap, then run 'em along the rails and there you are (or drop a fish line down the hole and pull the wires up in your case)
The clamshell ventelator, painted to match and properly caulked can seal it but in this case, even that is not important, if it leaks, the leak drips down to the ground no harm done.
