Pride makes every change take longer. Ask for help early.

Refusing help is usually about not wanting to be seen struggling, and it buys you weeks of doing badly in private. The information you need often exists two desks away and takes four minutes to get. Pride adds no capability and only stretches the timeline. Asking early is cheaper than asking after you are stuck.

Notice the question you have been carrying for more than a week. Send it to one person today, short and specific, without apologizing for asking. Most people answer faster than you expect and think nothing of it.
