Set up two cameras via Camlink 4k on iMac Catalina?

[RESOLVED! Just had to switch USB ports.]

Hi, folks. I've been using OBS for a bit but am running into some trouble hooking up a second camera. I suspect it's because of overlapping USB issues on my Mac. (I have a dual-monitor setup with one Camlink plugged into my iMac (which works fine) and the other plugged into my second monitor (Thunderbolt display). I'm assuming I will need to run some sort of USB splitter and/or upgrade my entire computer system, but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has any info.

And to be clear, I can build the hardware list of both cameras in OBS just fine, and OBS recognizes that there are two different cam links. I just can't get a feed out of the second camera unless I plug it into the port in which I normally place the first camera.

I know I'm just missing something obvious. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
