Camera buttons are still too hard to hit

Re-opening this, since VRChat decided to mark the previous canny as "Completed" while the problem wasn't solved at all:
Camera buttons, ever since the camera has been introduced, are still hard to hit most of the time, especially for bigger avatars. This was even something that was admitted in the patch notes well over a year ago, would be nice for the camera buttons to get changed to raycast while also tackling these related issues:
- Camera Icon fills 3/4 of the preview screen, just don't show it in selfie-mode where camera is fixed to tablet
- Camera Icons of other players should not be visible with "HUD Elements Off"
- Controller outlines, raycast etc. should not be visible in camera stream
TL;DR: Please switch camera buttons to raycast like everything else is
This Canny was marked as "Completed" while the solution didn't addressed the canny at all:
These are the old cannys:

It'd be MUUUCH easier to use if it was just buttons on a Canvas instead of physical mesh buttons. Point laser, click to use, no headaches at all.

If anything I find the lock button is only a nuisance. I hit it by mistake all the time, when I don't intend to lock the camera in place. I could already grab the camera in one hand to get a similar effect to using the lock. Feels like all they did is just add a new failure mode of using the camera.
Free hugs․․․
A workaround I found that made my life a lot easier is to grab the camera with one hand while operating the buttons with the other. That way the camera collider is disabled and the second hand can deal only with the button colliders.

Also it is greatly affected by the local maps. For example, in Pypy Dance, one cannot click the buttons in front of the mirror but will be able to behind the mirror at the spawn.

The buttons are hard to hit because the button colliders are intersecting the camera body collider. The solution is to either make the camera body a narrower box collider only around the screen or to make separate colliders for the buttons on each side.

I'm not sure why they thought adding a lock button is somehow a completed fix for the buttons still being too hard to hit.
So yeah, please fix this devs, and while you're at it, get this camera lens out of the middle of the screen. I don't know of any camera on earth that would have the camera lens in the middle of the screen, obstructing the view of the screen. It doesn't make any sense.

Kizzy: It makes sense to have the camera there, but the icon shouldn't be rendered when the camera is in selfie-mode. Makes no sense at all.

I gave up on waiting for the camera to be fixed and just use an add on on my VR Headset, to take pics. Way less hassle than trying to have my friends wait 5 minutes for me to click the capture button.
