iMac 8,1 wont show USB mouse unless plugged into usb keyboard

I upgraded a 2008 iMac 8,1 to Monterey with OCLP. All was working well, but there was a Montery update, so I let it do its thing.

Now my USB ports wont recognize USB mice. Keyboard works fine, and if I plug a wired mouse into my Apple a1242 keyboard (the one with the usb ports) then it recognizes it, but if I plug it into the back of the machine, it doesnt even power on the LED...

thoughts? Should I just reinstall Monterey like I had and ignore the update?
