If Paradox and Good Ben had to go back in time to the first camp night of the prime timeline to help Ben get the Omnitrix again, what did make him get it the first time? Maybe Good Ben is the actual reason for Prime Ben getting the Omnitrix. But Good Ben would not have known about the real Ben if the real didn't get the Omnitrix with or without Good Ben's help. It's really confusing and I had a headache but now I can explain it.

The beings are abled to change the time and the events that are happening at the moment they're doing something. In the first day of the summer vacation, the actions of the characters created the prime Ben timeline in the prime Ben universe. But in the future of that timeline, when Vilgax and Eon erased the prime Ben, the past actions of the timeline were also earased somehow. And Good Ben and Paradox' mission is to make changes to the actions at that time of the main timeline to make prime Ben find the Omnitrix again. The actions cannot be the same as the first time (when prime Ben found the Omnitrix himself, without the help of Good Ben and Paradox), so they had to change few things to cause Ben's finding of the Omnitrix. It is like the Dave Lister story. He was found as a baby in a box under a pool table with Ouroboros on it. As a adult and after meeting his girlfriend other dimension self, he realises that he is his own father and his girlfriend is his mum. Dave himself was wiped out/replaced and his replacement somehow ended up being his father as well. Good Ben caused the Prime Ben to found the Omnitrix and thus, cause Good Ben to learn about the Omnitrix.
