You cannot recover a 3D point from only a single 2D projection of that point. This is because every point [X,Y,Z] along the line of sight from the camera to [u,v] also maps to [u,v] according to the equation you've shown. Because it is a many-to-one mapping from [X,Y,Z] to [u,v], you cannot invert the equation uniquely.

Given that I placed the correct R_T, after normalizing what is the next step I need to do for u, v?

Everything you have now is correct except for R_T.
