Answer from an old post that I found, sorry for the dupe:
The properties view listens for selection changed events from the workbench
page's selection service, and notifies the current property page of the
change. The default property page updates in response (as should other
implementations).
The view or editor needs to publish its selection provider via
getSite().setSelectionProvider(ISelectionProvider), and issue events to
selection listeners appropriately.
If the view or editor is implemented using a viewer, you can just set that
as the selection provider.
If properties of the selected element are changing without the selection
changing, you may need to issue a fake selection event to get the properties
view to update.

Actually, this still doesn't help me enough.
I cant seem to find how to fire an event that the PropertySheet listens to.
Any tips?

The main problem is that the API hides all the pages (PropertySheetPage) and
therefore viewers (PropertySheetViewer) within the properties view.
Good news is, you can tell the properties view to use a page of your desire.
So I supply the page that it would normally use by default
(PropertySheetPage), except when I supply it, I keep a reference to it
(obviously), and then you can call propertySheetPageRef.refresh() to update
the model (thankfully this method is public).
public Object getAdapter(Class adapter) {
if (adapter == IPropertySource.class) {
return resultProvider;
} else if (adapter == IPropertySheetPage.class) {
return propertySheetPage;
}
return null;
}
