Does anyone have a guide on how to integrate ads from AdMob into an android game? I've been struggling with this for so long.

Mark Alexander's article should probide you with what you need as a basis (though think I had to do some Googling for a couple of setup tweaks):

In terms of getting through setup issues, not off the top of my head as I set it up a few months ago.
I did tweak it for smart banners, there is a post here on how to do that:

Is there any particular bit not working for you? You should be able to see any admob issues in the cmd window output when run it on a connected Android device.

I figured it out. It wasn't working because I was compiling and not making an executable. As soon as I installed an executable it began working. thank you so much for your help!

I don't use AdMob (but do use Mopub). For the most part, I would imagine you need to grab extension for Admob, import it into your project. Then use the corresponding code inside the game (usually an Init statement at the very start of the game, then another line to call banner ads, or load and show fullscreen ads). That documentation should be linked to in the GMS manual/help if you search for it.
