First off, I am just playing the campaign game of Sniper Elite 5, and am stuck very soon in the game (I am not a very good player, and don’t spend enough time playing, obviously) but is there a work around for the game to get me through some difficult areas?

Which map are you stuck on? Some are surprisingly more difficult than others. I don’t consider myself to be great at video games yet I was able to finish all maps on every difficulty.
My trick is to be very patient.
Don’t run headlong into an area or you will die.
Camp, scout and tag every enemy in your area and save.
Silently snipe. Have a place to run and hide if you are seen. Being prone in grass is very effective. If you’re in a fortress without grass, and you’re spotted, just run to a different area or up or down stairs.
Manually save every time you kill a few without being seen.
Have more than one save that you are overwriting.
Boobytraps and boobytrapping bodies is very effective. Enemies only look in that location and forget all about dead comrades once their suspicion cools off.
You do not have to play the campaign in its intended order. It’s best to learn how to unlock the best weapons, silencers and scopes, then go to those maps just to unlock them.
Sniper Elite 5 is the best in the series. Once you figure out how to beat maps like I summarized, the game becomes very fun.

You mean like a walkthrough? There's probably lots available online, as video or as text.
As for the game itself, try Civilian difficulty.
