Can anyone recognize major constellations or planets or anything? I am new, the only thing I think is familar is the bright orange star in the bottom right that I think might be a planet.
You can download “Stellarium”. It’s an amazing interactive app for the night sky. It will point out all constellations for you in real time

On the bottom left of your picture is almost certainly Sagittarius because it marks the center of the milky way. That means the bright star on the right of that is Antares in Scorpio.

You should get some app like stellarium for example and just spend more time watching night sky. Learn to navigate sky using major objects like moon, other planets big constellation and bright stars.
Red circle is Scorpius constellation ( just tail is visible), and red arrow pointing star is lambda socprii or shaula, green circle is ptolemys cluster or messier 7, and yellow circle is lagoon nebula or messier 8 but i am not sure for that.
Edit: that botom right object isn’t planet it’s antres, star that is part of scorpius
