Issue Recognizing Camera ZED SDK

I have a first generation ZED camera. I am running Ubuntu 26 and I installed Cuda 13.3 and the zed sdk. When I run the ZED_Diagnostic everything is a green check mark except for finding the camera. When I run lsusb -l in the terminal, it finds the camera.

Maybe it’s a permission thing. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.
