Picar-X camera does not work

Hello,

I assembled the Picar-X exactly according to instructions with Raspberrypi 4. All of the examples work fine except the camera.

I checked the FCC cable on both ends and they are perfectly in place.

Console logs:

$ libcamera-hello --list-cameras
No cameras available!

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It looks that the camera is not being detected at all.

UPDATE:

I am able to take a picture using this command:

sudo raspistill -o test.png
