GOOUUU ESP32-S3-CAM Camera Failing on Boot

[trail raft]

I just bought 2 of these GOOUUU ESP32-S3-CAM on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DGLL82VQ?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image&th=1). I'm trying to flash it with ESPHome but I keep getting the error

[02:11:20][E][esp32_camera:123]:   Setup Failed: ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND
[02:11:20][E][component:082]:   Component esp32_camera is marked FAILED

I'm completely new to using ESPs so I'm honestly relying on ChatGPT for the config which is obviously not going well. This was my last attempt:

esphome:
  name: esp32_s3_cam
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1  # Matches the ESP32-S3 board

wifi:
  ssid: [REDACTED]

    scl: GPIO11  # CAM_SIOC

Does anyone have any experience getting these working in Home Assistant?

Also I think this is the same board I have but I'm not knowledgable enough to be certain. https://forum.arduino.cc/t/chinese-esp32-s3-cam/1318290

I have this for my "noname" esp camera:

I don't think the pins on mine match up but ill see what happens.

I found this on the amazon page i didn't notice before

mine is way smaller , only a few pins are available on mine. I only spent time to find out how to flip the picture, and some other settings. I did a long time ago. 😉

I modified this using the chart above but I get the error "This pin cannot be used on ESP32s and is already used by the flash interface (function: Flash Command)."

I also have this at the end....:

## GPIO_4 is the flash light pin
