Create Multicam sequence from hand synced sequence (using proxies)

Question

I'm putting together a video for a band consisting of 5 cameras and one recorded, mixed track.

I tried to make a multicam sequence the auto sync way, but it failed miserably at matching via the audio. Unfortunately, we didn't run timecode. So, I matched 5x cameras to the audio by hand and now only have the mix in for audio.

I've tried going to right click the sequence, open in source monitor, enable multi cam, then toggle multi cam view, but am trying to find a way to make edits to the sequence from multi-cam. What do I need to do to be able to toggle between cameras to edit in the multicam way that all the tutorial show? Or, is there a way I can at least be playing at the same tiem in the program monitor and source monitor, then make the cuts I want by hand? It feels like some step is missing still.

To begin editing a multicam sequence in Premiere Pro, you first need to add the multicam sequence to a track in a new sequence—this becomes your editing sequence.

Next, click the Settings (wrench) icon in the Program Monitor and enable Multi-Camera. This will split the Program Monitor into two panels: all cameras will appear on the left, and your active edit will appear on the right.

You can switch cameras during playback in a few ways:

Click directly on a camera in the Program Monitor to switch to it.
Hold Cmd (Mac) / Ctrl (Windows) and click a camera to insert a cut and switch cameras.
Use the number keys (1, 2, 3, etc.) to quickly switch between cameras.
