Camera app worked, seems like problem with the app. Though I had issues with other apps and QR in general, where I had to turnoff night mode for the NWC config to work on Amethyst, it would not read white dots on black background 

 ya, must be bugs in the QR libs those apps use then.. workaround it somehow (copy/paste from camera app?) n file up some bugs 🐛🐛🐛😎
