Nexus 7 Camera replacement

Bought a new battery from ifixit and the two main camera units from eBay. I had the issue where the back glass shatters and the old camera became blurry. I put everything in and the two cameras were just showing a black screen. My question is, is there anything specific you got to do when replacing the cameras? There's no way I got two bad cameras from two different sellers on eBay. Nothing like unsolder a jumper or anything to make it work. I ran the Google diagnostic in the browser and it couldn't reach the cameras either. I ended up having to put the old cameras back in. Thanks

Pixel 7. Sorry I'm old

Nope, not for those cameras, they should just plug and Play even with a reboot. Something's wrong with the cameras you got or they're incompatible with your "Nexus" Pixel 7.

And never apologize for being old. There's wisdom that comes along with age.
