I ended up successfully testing out a couple of solutions, but would still love to be able to purchase a ready-made cable of this type so I had a rock solid solution.
First, I bought a USB Micro male breakout board and a USB-C pigtail cable. I soldered the wires to the corresponding points on the breakout board and soldered the ID/Sense pin to ground on the breakout board to indicate it's an OTG cable. I plugged the USB-C end into the camera and the Micro end into the Pi Zero 2W, and it worked! The downside of this solution is I have to created my own cable every time I need a new one and it will never be as reliable and a professionally made cable.
Second, I bought a Micro USB to Micro USB OTG Cable from Adafruit (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3610) and put a small Micro USB to USB-C adapter on the end of the cable. This also worked, but again isn't as clean of a solution as a real cable. I'd also like for the ends to be right-angles jacks for my use.
So after testing these two solutions, I know that this kind of cable is POSSIBLE, but it appears that no one manufactures one? If anyone has a source, I'd really appreciate it!
