Struggling getting plex port forwading to work

Question

Needing some help - i've followed every guide and no matter what i cant get it to work. 
 
 I have port 1 as my lan connected to my switch serving out IPs including my Plex server 172.16.16.30 
 Port 2 is my WAN connected directly to the internet cat 5 to my place (its getting an IP works fine) 
 How do i setup port forwarding for my plex server? I cant figure it out and its had me stumped for nearly 5 hours! I've tried adding every single firewall rule nat rule but cant get it to work with remote access outside

Your NAT Rule is wrong. 
 
 On Original Source It needs to be "Any", since you want to match Any IP from the WAN Interface. 
 You need to use your WAN Port, which is #Port2 as "Original Destination" 
 You need to use the "Plex Server" Host at "Translated Destination (DNAT)"; Here's an example:

Also, enable "Log Firewall Traffic" on the Firewall Rule, or else you will suffer debugging It if something bad happens.
