Black&White image on USB Alvium camera

I'm using an Alvium 1800 U-158c USB camera with ROS noetic and Vimba SDK 6. Everything is working perfectly with Vimba Viewer. I could'nt get it to work with this repo so I used this fork that I encountered on this issue. With this fork I got an image but it's only B&W and there is some weird squares on it: Maybe the weird squares just come from rviz vizualisation as they move when resizing the window.

I've checked all the parameters and they are the same than the ones used in Vimba Viewer. Does anyone have any idea from what this could be coming from ?

Another stange thing is that after stopping to use the camera for a few weeks, I tried again with this repo and everything worked with a color image. It even worked perfectly with Mkarasneh's fork. Unfortunately after unpluging and pluging the camera everything was back to what it was before (B&W image). Now I'm stucked with it and I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

Here is my output when launching the node :
