Doing ICC to the plates is very time consuming and you should not need to. We do only for certain stock. We print on poly and other plastics.

What you need is to find the state at how your press print. If you have more then one, you will need to try and bring them inline so that they all print about the same. This can be hard.

You then need to generate an ICC from the press sheets. Take a few sheets from each press and do an average works well.
Play out a proof with no ICC and generate an ICC from that.

With those two you can generate a device link for Nexus for your proofer.

There are many,many steps that I skiped over as this is not the correct forum on how to go about making an ICC and what hardware and software is needed.
