I am trying to do some research on what it takes to put together a side charging upper. My issue is I don't know what the knob or charging element of the system is called. Can someone inform me so I can continue researching?

Also, to me it seems like you just need a BCG that allows the knob to be screwed in and then an upper that has the appropriate cut outs. Is that correct?

probably better to buy something pre made. You could just buy a tap, drill and thread a hole, put on a knob from the hardware store - after cutting the side of the upper. I don't like the idea of a reciprocating charging handle, but it would work.
