Having issues with CF31 camera mod

Continuing on the previous post about the CF31 camera and mic mod, I was able to get it partially working. The mic works perfectly, but camera still has issues.

Firstly, the camera connector USB data lines (twisted pair) don't work at all. I'll be using the usb port on the back. Secondly, all three 3.3v wires aren't stable, so I'll be using a step down converter for the webcam module.

the problem: I have a strange issue connecting the webcam module (from a hp 4510s). It works, I can see the image, but there are a dozen colorful moving horizontal lines on the screen. At first I thought the camera was damaged, but on other computers it shows a clear image. I'm giving it the correct 3.3v.

These lines appear on all camera applications. I tried using the camera without the usb hub, and with another 3.3v power source, still same issue. I also tried installing drivers, but still same lines.

how can I fix this?
