Im kind of at a loss. Am i not wrong in saying, it should just be a straight swap? As long as my fuse etc are fine, i should just be able to interchange no issue?
I thought maybe its a pressure thing, but when i put my old pump in after sitting removed from the vehicle, it starts right away so cannot be a pressure issue.

Yep - either the new pump is faulty and its moving precisely zero fuel, or its reverse polarity and spinning backwards.
There's no rubber protective caps or anything over fuel pickup points by any chance? When you buy a new pump (by itself) usually the fuel outlet has a rubber cap over it to protect it.
I know it sounds stupid but its worth a quick look.
