Cat6 shielded question

Hi everyone. I have a couple cat6 shielded cable runs for a few ip cameras. The runs go from the camera to a poe switch with metal housing ports. I used cat6 shielded cable connecters and attached the drain wire to the metal tabs of the connecter at the switch side only. Are the cables properly grounded? If not, what’s the way to do so. Also, if i dont connect the drain wire at either end, will the cable preform properly? I thought shielded cable would be better but may have bit off more than i can chew. Worst case gonna rerun with just cat6 and plastic connecters.
