Autofocus does not work after multiple camera replacements.

So a bit of backstory.[br]
I have a iPhone SE 2020.[br]
One day the rear camera completely stopped working with only a black screen.[br]
i then bought a used iPhone 8 camera, because an article from ifixit said the parts are interchangeable. [br]
After i put the camera in, it worked but the autofocus didn't.[br]
[br]
So i did a bit of trial an error and found out that if i close the camera app and tap very softly on the lens directly and then start the camera it works fine for a while.[br]
But when the Phone sleeps for a bit or gets rebooted it most of the time doesn't work anymore.[br]
Repeating the tapping fixes it again.
I then bought another iPhone 8 camera because i thought the other one has a defect. But the second camera has now the same issue.[br]
[br]
I then took the camera form my dads iPhone 8 wich is known to work fine. But the same issue appeared.[br]
When i test the cameras i bought on ebay in the iPhone from my dad, they work fine.[br]
[br]
I am at a loss right now. [br]
On ebay the cameras are mostly listed to be compatible with iphone 8 and se 2020. [br]
Are they really or is it possible i have mainboard damage.[br]
