ESP32-CAM when not on computer USB

Got a ESP32-CAM on a usb dev board combo thing setup all working and just printing an enclosure for it for inside the Prusa Enclosure - so that's all good. However, when I unhitch it from the USB port on the computer and try to just power it with a suitable PSU it doesn't perform/boot/join my wifi and all that. It DOES if I reach into the gap between the PCBs and push the reset button on the CAM board. Obviously though I'm not going to be able to do that once its in the enclosure - so wonderin gif anyone had come across anything similar?

The kit I bought was https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08P1NMPLL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any insights greatly appreciated. Cheers!

RE: ESP32-CAM when not on computer USB

It's ages since I did this so forgive me if I don't remember correctly. I seem to remember that when you disconnect from debugging mode and plug into a power supply you have to do a manual reset to get it into normal mode but that after that a straight forward power cycle will restart in normal mode
