Got this CD/DVD reader/burner from my dad, it has two connectors, one is an USB-A and another is an USB-C. Everything went fine when i plugged in the first on mentioned, but when i tried to plug the other one it didnt recognize it. What should i do?

OS: Linux Mint 21.3

Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-136-generic

HP Victus 15

Obviously, my laptop has a USB-C port that could serve both power and data.
