Since I couldn't find this information anywhere when I was searching (and I searched a LOT), I'm putting my answer here. I can see that all the data is there, now it's just a matter of how I can access it with Read privileges. So an additional question would be how I can go about doing that manually. So I also noticed that M3 has an action that it lists as "rebuilding partition structure". I've see things about using different software, and I've tried each, but they don't result in anything that I can actually mount without reformatting, and of course formatting then doesn't do anything. img won't mount properly is because it doesn't have any partitioning data, but IDK. So, at this point I'm guessing that the reason that the. Formatting and attempting to use Recuva doesn't give me the files that I need/want from the drive, and neither does anything else I've found so far. img that recovery recreated, I get the same message about needing formatting and/or the image being corrupted. So I'm trying to figure out what to do now.

I checked our M3 recovery, and it does show all the data there that I need, but I can't really justify spending $150+ on a license for it. img file and it seems to have been successful (reported 100% decrypted), however I cannot figure out what to do next. Now I still have the PW, but not the RP or RK info (I am still searching to see if I have the RK saved in a file). I figured that it must has still been doing some R/W processes when I removed it. A few days later, when I went to complete my project, the USB is now showing as needing formatting.

I had my BL encrypted USB connected to my laptop, closed my laptop to put it to sleep (and some time later), removed the USB and stowed the laptop. I've found many posts on the topic of BitLocker, but haven't been able to find anything that solved my situation.
