QCC5181
There is no transmitter project for that one, only 5x and 8x series officially have it. You won't be getting LDAC encoding anyway. If you want it, you'll have to buy off-the-shelf product which support it. Well, unless you want to spend months trying to port LDAC.
@o11111 I thought the first letter was the series.
The only place I can find the QCC5181 is here https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGoX7T6 and it has an ldac option somehow It's also kinda expensive. Would a 5x series be cheaper?
Do you know of another place I can buy it from?

Not by much and you shouldn't be buying it anyway.
"LDAC option" is not what you think it is. It is LDAC decoder and you want the encoder. You just can't get this for cheap. Once again, you'll have to buy a full-blown transmitter and these are quite expensive. TBH, you probably should be using a Raspberry Pi instead, i.e. Zero 2W would do.
You can't get
You'd program it just as usual, there's a separate workspace file for the usb_dongle project.
either. Default QCCxx8x transmitter project only supports SBC, aptX/HD/Adaptive and a few LE Audio codecs.

That won't fit in my project and would consume too much power. Something with just aac? The only boards I could find are these Qualcomm ones and the kcx emmiter but I can't find the codecs it has anywhere

Nope, nothing. Neither QCC nor CSR chips support AAC encoding, it's actually the same as with LDAC and actually quite a bit worse. At least there are some LDAC transmitters, but AAC ones don't exist (yet?).
Bluetooth isn't a DIY-friendly space, most of the off-the-shelf boards are totally locked down, others just don't do what you need them to and you'll have to spend months fighting with them.
Well, I'm not sure what to do now. I'm curious how the Tinyshine TS8804 works though because it seems to use the QCC3031 and it can transmit audio, but they don't seem to list the codecs anywhere
Older QCC chips supported proprietary broadcast mode, but only to other QCC boards. This probably isn't what you want.
What about the feasycom ones? They seem to have some transmitters like the FSC-BT1036A but they don't seem to have the codecs listed again
