MJPG-Streamer systemd Socket

so I've never made a systemd service or socket before, but I basically copied the files for smbd as a template and entered the values I needed for mjpg-streamer. if I start mjpg.service it works fine, but if I start mjpg.socket instead, it starts properly but when I go to view the webpage I get a webpage with only 'Bad response. The server or forwarder response doesn't look like HTTP.' here are the files that I made:

mjpg.service
