2020 CRV - Car won’t start after changing battery
I tested the battery and it has 12 volts and I tested the fuse box and it has power but there is no power in the cabin and a white light flashes around the starter button when pressed. Other than that there is no indication the car has power. I’m stumped.

You need a battery.. 12 volts is a bad battery .

How do you figure that? 12 volts is the resting voltage of a battery when not being charged by the alternator. The Alternator should put out 13.5- 14 volts when the engine is running. It takes higher voltage to charge a battery but not too high so you do not boil the water out of it.
The only time a 12 volt battery is deemed bad is if the voltage drops significantly (7-10 vdc) when the starter engages,

This comes from a search on the internet about the state of charge of a car battery.
Notice that 12 volts is not a good state of charge.
Just something to consider.

What is a good state of charge for a car battery?
A fully charged 12-volt car battery (standard voltage) will read between 12.4 and 12.7 volts. Pro tip: Anything below 12 volts is low, and there's a good chance your car won't start.
