Only apps installed after SD card was put it can see it

AC Question

I have a new BLU R1 HD (Android 6). I like the phone, but after putting in SD card apps that were already on the phone preinstalled like Camera, File Manager, etc. can't see it.

When I installed the SD card it asked if I wanted to reformat SD to be used as storage, which I did. Applications that I've installed since then all use the SD card, but really Camera is where I'd like to use it the most and it doesn't see it so has no button for storage under settings for that app. File manager sees internal only as well.

If I go to the phone's settings->storage it sees both internal and the SD card, so I know the SD card is in fact installed and can be read. From there I can see the apps I added all using SD. Going to settings->applications->Camera it doesn't give me the option to change storage location either.

This is my first Android phone so I apologize if I'm wasting your time with something obvious. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.
