Can't help with your problem other than to re-assure you that it does work.

Here I power the PiZero from the hub[1] and plug the hub in to the
PiZero micro usb port. Connected to that hub is a k/b, a mouse, a wifi
dongle, a usb disk, a usb-serial converter and a usb camera. Which are
all recognised and working.

Also works with a PiZero W without the need for a wifi dongle.

When I'm done I just move one cable and all the usb devices are
connected to my main PC.


[1] a seven port powered hub of dubious origin.
