Unfortunately, SteamVR with Flatpak is busted unless you use something like WiVRn. If you try to use something like the Steam Link app on an Android-based VR headset to do direct SteamVR streaming, it won’t work on the Flatpak because of permissions.

Probably. It tries to run a .sh script on first launch as sudi, but fails. Even if you run it manually, it still didn’t seem to fix it. There is a bug report for it somewhere that’s been open for 2 years. Valve officially only supports the package version of Steam for SteamVR, not Flatpak, so it’s unlikely to get fixed.
I just installed from Flatpak for years now. No multilib headache.

Did you try and app like Flatseal for customising Flatpak permissions?
Yeah that fixes some things, but there is a sudo command it tries to run that has some sort of pathing issue in the Flatpak version.
Sounds like a bug to be reported :(
Is it less up to date than other versions they have?
There is already a bug report. It’s been open for two years.
Valve doesn’t support SteamVR for Linux in Flatpak or Snap
Can you not just allow those permissions?
It’s deeper than that. It tries to run a function with sudi that fails every time, but the prompt for a password never appears.
Ah, I see. So it must need some library installed via Flatpak as well, that provides that prompt, right?

What is “sudi”? I assumed you meant sudo at first. 😅
