Above here is the information I've been given for one of my seminar questions, so far I have calculated the fisher information and from there I computed the asymptotic distribution for $hatlambda$ is:
$$lambda_n = Nleft(lambda,frac1nI(lambda)right)
= Nleft(lambda, fraclambda^2dnright)$$
After that I derived the 90% confidence interval for λ as:
$$T_1,2=hatlambda pm fracz_alpha/2sqrtnI(lambda)= fracdnx pm 1.64 fraclambdasqrtnd$$
And from here I need to find the exact 90% confidence interval but this is where I'm stuck. Can anyone provide any assistance?

You cannot find the exact CI from an asymptotic CI; you have to start from scratch. You are given a hint on what to do in the last line of your question. That is pretty much the answer.

So how exactly would I do this, would I need to calculate the likelihood of this new function and go from there? @StubbornAtom

Can you verify that $2lambdasum X_i$ has a chi-square distribution? If you can, then this is your pivotal quantity from which the CI follows.
