Esp32 cam QR code decoding failed error

[maverick-42]

Hey! I am using this library with my own sketch and everything seemed to work well the first few times but now it always shows a "Decoding Failed" error every time I try to decode a Qr code. As I am not a pro in Arduino, can someone direct me to where my mistake is?

Note: I once tried to establish a com between Esp32 and the cam module does that happen to be a problem? Also, the cam module once fell from my hand. But the camera is working pretty fine.

This is my code ----
