What camera module do you use?

I am using an Arducam OV5647

They provide their own installation script for this cam and also you need to enable some overlays:

That seemed to fix it.
which is weird since I had previously used the same set of commands here libcamera and libcamera-apps - Arducam Wiki
Maybe it just needed a reinstall?

Thank you for your help/time
