I know that feel. On top of being a student at AU, I'm a library tech at another college and I see students getting overwhelmed by citation styles everyday.
Depending on how in depth you want to go, I have a number of suggestions:

• OWL Purdue
  • This is my FAVORITE resource for anything to do with citations. I feel it does a great job of providing examples of both basic rules but also certain weird exceptions.
  • For APA 7 specific, use the left navigation bar: Research and Citation > APA Style > Whatever you need to cite.
  • There is also a couple great examples of formatting. They show a whole example paper with notes on format specifics.
• If you want to get more indepth, you could read through the official APA citation guidebook. Here's an Amazon link as they tend to be stable.
  • I find most students don't need to look at the official stuff because there are a lot of great shorter resources. But it's always nice to be able to go to the source.
• There are also a number of shorter works that offer examples.
  • The concise versions of the official guide is one option. This is a favorite in my library.

APA 7 is newer when it comes to citation styles and I've had some instructors not realize there have been changes.

You should be able to compress the file, use something like 7-zip.

Or if you're on Mac, follow these instructions.

Going forward, you may be interested in using an app like Zotero. It helps track all your sources and will generate citations and bibliography. It's not perfect, but it does speed up the process.
