My new raspberry pi camera wont work, it wont detect it, any idea? my older pi camera works but this one doesn't and I have multiple of them so I know it isn't broken.

What are you running on the pi it is connected to - Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye 32-bit or something else?

Which new Pi camera? GS, v3, ...?

What command are you using to determine that the camera isn't detected?
The only valid one for v3 and libcamera is "libcamera-hello --list-cameras"

The v3 is only supported by libcamera and not the legacy camera stack, and "vcgencmd get_camera" is only valid for legacy.

[raspberrypi4ok]

says supported=1 detected=0
No cameras available!

says supported=1 detected=0
No cameras available!

As I said, "vcgencmd get_camera" is only valid for legacy. v3 camera is not supported by the legacy stack.

Stated in the blog post:

The new Camera Module 3 is only supported by the modern libcamera software environment and by the libcamera-based Picamera2 beta under Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye, and not by the legacy closed-source camera stack – you’ll need to make sure you have the latest version of the software before you dig in, as only the latest release has autofocus support.

And in the product information

Camera Module 3 takes advantage of the Raspberry Pi Open Source Camera System powered by libcamera
