Trying to set up a nest cam with floodlight but google app won't give me the instructions

Hi - I am trying to install a nest cam with flood light.  I use the home app, select add device, select my address and it immediately searches for devices.  It only finds a google wifi (which I don't have) and ask if I want to set it up.  I select "setup a different device", select nest cam with floodlight, and it ask me to scan the QR code, which I do.  It then immediately goes back to "searching for devices" and, of course, only finds that google wifi.  I go through the process again and it just continues to go back to searching for device and finding only the google wifi - it's an endless loop.  I tried adding by using only the set up code, instead of scanning the QR code, but as soon as I enter the setup code - guess what....it goes back to searching for a device.  How the heck to I get to where I can actually see the installation instructions, add the camera, connect to wifi, etc?

Uninstalled and reinstalled the home app.  That did the trick.
