I tested AR0144 with M0036 flex in the configuration shown in picture below and it works. I also have the IMX412 camera attached with its own flex. The dual flex configuration is not ideal for plugging into M0135 due to flexes pointing towards each other after being connected to M0135, but for testing purposes it is OK.
If you have AR0144 camera connected in the same way with the flex cable and the camera is not detected, then it seems like the flex cable is the issue.
