So I'm running MainsailOS (a klipper OS for 3d printing based on RPi Bullseye) on my pi zero 2w, and I wanted to connect my pi camera 3 noir wide to stream footage of it printing, which is a typical thing to do. But when I connect my camera and I run libcamera-hello --list-cameras it outputs No cameras available!. I have cleaned the wires with isopropyl alcohol and checked for continuity with a multimeter, so I know that it's connected right. I also just flashed a spare sd card with the newest rpi Bookworm distro. Still the same results, even after updating both distros with sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade Does anybody have any ideas on what else to do?

The most common issue is the connector.

Do you mean the ribbon cable or the sockets?

Both! Not properly inserted, turned the wrong way, greasy and damaged. And that is in the order of magnitude. Faulty camera module has I encountered once as well.
