AMD SFH issues on Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 14" with Ryzen CPU

Hey, everyone. I recently decided to try getting the accelerometer in my Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 to work, but I've been running into some issues. The laptop uses an AMD sensor fusion hub to gather these readings, but I've never been able to get it working properly. About a year ago I managed to get monitor-sensor to display some output, but the accelerometer reading was "undefined" and it appeared that the driver/kernel module simply wasn't fully fleshed out yet. However, now when I run monitor-sensor it hangs at "Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear." I've been searching for a few days now and still can't figure out what's going on. iio-sensor-proxy fails to start and doesn't detect any sensors. I've verified that the amd_sfh kernel module is loaded and I've tried setting the sensor_mask, but so far I've had no luck. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know! It would be great if I could get this convertible to actually function like one.

"/usr/libexec/iio-sensor-proxy -v" output:

Exactly the same here, except, that the iio library is now of version 0.24 and my kernel has updated to 6.0.0-1

But I found a different debugging/error message:

/usr/lib/iio-sensor-proxy -v
** (iio-sensor-proxy:16380): DEBUG: 10:51:15.841: Starting iio-sensor-proxy version 3.4
(iio-sensor-proxy:16380): GLib-GIO-DEBUG: 10:51:15.843: Using cross-namespace EXTERNAL authentication (this will deadlock if server is GDBus < 2.73.3)
** (iio-sensor-proxy:16380): DEBUG: 10:51:15.847: iio-sensor-proxy is already running, or it cannot own its D-Bus name. Verify installation.

Actually I don't know, what it means, but maybe someone else has an idea?

Thanks
