This is the dmesg output just after plugging in:

I questioned my sanity after reading that cause it seems that the webcam is detected as a storage device??

For context, I am running on a Dell Inspiron 7591. The built in webcam works fine, but I need the USB one to work for classes etc. Running ls on /dev/video* only shows 2 video devices - the ones for the integrated webcam
Since the webcam driver uvcvideo is in tree, I tried changing to the lts and zen kernels, to no gain.
Help is appreciated. I'll be happy to provide any info needed.
