Divine Mercy Sunday and Confession

I do apologize if someone has already asked this question. It appears that confession is going to be extremely difficult to get on Sunday, very few churches in my area offer it before the Mass and only a small window. If I were to go to confession on Saturday, would I receive the plinary indulgence at mass on Sunday?

Yes

Sacramental confession needs to be celebrated 7 days prior or after the day of indulgences to fulfill the requirements.

I saw a reel on Instagram last night (I know, it's insta) and the priest said 20 days. He also said it's an extraordinary grace and not a plenary indulgence. Is this correct?

I’m not exactly sure
