Certs from Smart Card not showing up or viewable in keychain

I am trying to get a smart card reader functioning on my Mac just upgraded to 12.1 and the reader is seen by the system, and the card is shown, but no certs? Can put the card in a computer next to it (running windows and different reader) - works fine, bought a second reader same symptoms as the first on the Mac. I cannot view the card in KeyChain, and the commands I am executing don't seem to see the certs on the card. (Can validate I am going to include as much detail as I can; hopefully, it's just a misconfiguration: (PIV card works (tested it on a different system), unsure of the reader as it's brand new (bought it a while back, but put it in the box and never used it). ➜ Downloads ./cert_read.py Running: 'system_profiler SPSmartCardsDataType' and parsing output...
