Convert Python expression from ArcMap to Arcade in ArcPro

I've created hatch marks on a line to use as stationing for a levee feature on a map but I need to format the labels to read like stations rather than just numbers. I'm able to do this in ArcMap (see attached screenshot) using the following expression:

def FindLabel (esri__measure):
EM = str(int(round(esri__measure)))
if len(EM) == 0:
return "0+00"
elif len(EM) == 1:
return "0+0{0}".format(*EM)
elif len(EM) == 2:
return "0+{0}{1}".format(*EM)
elif len(EM) == 3:
return "{0}+{1}{2}".format(*EM)
elif len(EM) == 4:
return "{0}{1}+{2}{3}".format(*EM)
elif len(EM) == 5:
return "{0}{1}{2}+{3}{4}".format(*EM)
elif len(EM) == 6:
return "{0}{1}{2}{3}+{4}{5}".format(*EM)

Now I have to do the same thing but in ArcPro and I'm only given the option to do this using Arcade. Does anybody know how I can convert the expression/script above from Python to Arcade? I'm a novice at both languages so any help would be much appreciated!

Label class properties in Pro should let you pick Python to use the existing code.

Thanks for replying but that is not the window I see when I label the hatch marks.

My team lead showed me this post that solved my problem.

Now that I've figured this out, does anybody know how I would convert these to annotation? Now that the levee station numbers have been generated, I can't figure out how to rotate them into place. I'd like to convert the numbers to annotation but I can't find how to do that since the station numbers are not true labels since they are not based on attribute table values.
