I've a SOT23-6 (i think LDO) that is glowing like a Christmas tree on the thermal camera. Pretty sure it takes 5V USB C VIN on pin 4, I'm not sure what it outputs. I've marked the pins and what they do, or what resistor they're connected to. Marking is JWE2J (Joulwatt). The component is on the main board of a Razer Kiyo Pro webcam. I think the ??? pin is EN. Thanks for any help in advance.

If that is an inductor on pin #3, then the IC cannot be an LDO, it must be a switchmode converter. The output would be the lower end of the inductor. Check the resistance to ground at this point.
I suspect that this IC has a similar pinout:
