It's deceiving because I thought I was getting 12 volts to the solenoid. Also, if it helps, I get no voltage from the positive side of the coil as well. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Just to review. The PO installed a separate relay to energize the starter solenoid. The ignition switch is merely used to provide source voltage to the ignition system.
When you press the aftermarket starter button, the relay should provide a voltage path from the battery to the starter solenoid via the relay (the power side of the relay). The yellow, #50 wire to the relay now only acts to energize the relay (the control side of the relay), not to energize starter solenoid.
If possible, identify and record the corresponding relay numbers and their current path.
