Hi, I went through the same thing with Twinkle my syrian male hamster. I thought how on earth am I going to tame him when he shoots back in his house even though I am way across the room not making a sound. Honestly, 1 week is early days for some hamsters.

It took about 6 weeks, but he finally got used to me and his new home and is soooooo tame.

I wouldn't be removing anything now, let him get settled, you can always try switching the lights off at night and go stand outside the door to the room and see if he comes out then, sometimes they do.

Honestly, give it time and I think you will see your hamster and be able to start taming him.

(i am presuming he is a syrian as you have in the savic plaza)
