Huawei E8372 not appearing as LTE interface

I have a CRS125 with RouterOS 6.34.3 and Firmware 3.24. I purchased a Huawei E8372 as it is on the list of supported devices. When connected, it appears as a USB device, but no LTE interface or Port appears.
/system resource usb print
# DEVICE VENDOR NAME SPEED
0 1:1 Linux 3.3.5 ehci_hcd RB400 EHCI 480 Mbps
1 1:3 HUAWEI_MOBILE HUAWEI_MOBILE 480 Mbps
This device is not broken, as it has a valid 4G Internet connection if I plug it into my Windows 10 PC.
I have sent a supout file to MikroTik support, but if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated. The device appears with Vendor ID 0x12d1 and Device ID 0x1f01.

I can confirm this problem was resolved by - wait for it - turning my router off and on again.
Reboots didn't help.
Software upgrades to Release Candidate didn't help.
Turning the router off by pulling the power cord was the solution.

In hilink mode LTE modem working as virtual network card.
In no-hilink mode LTE modem working as a simple modem.
