Hey all,
I think I am askign this correclty.

Im essentally trying to apply my normal maps to my geo without using a texture node and have the normal map displace my geo. Is there a way to do that? I got this method to work with displacement maps using a method another houdid user showed on here, but it did not work when I tried with normal maps.

Iv attached the method he showed. is there a normal map equivalent?
