For question #2, I don’t know how to put the code on my site. I’m using Dazzling’s child theme now. Can I still use that code for Activello theme? And where do I place the code?
In your Dazzling child theme add the file footer.php from the parent theme and then edit that footer.pgp file to include the custom code as described in the following topic for Activello theme.

For social media icons, I’m not sure if I’ve done it correctly because all the icons look greyed out. Is it suppose to be this way? Is it possible to change the color to a darker shade of grey?
Yes it by default displays like that but you can try its color by adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.
Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Dazzling Options -> Other -> Custom CSS
#page .social-icons a {
color: #000;
}
Please change the color value in the above code to whatever you want to use by referring the following pages.
