Possibly the remote needs to be paired again. If your Apple TV remote isn't working - Apple Support

Volume control is directly to the audio system, so that doesn’t require this pairing.

I have an update. After successfully adding the Black Apple TV Remote to the Apple TV 4K, it removes the original Apple TV 4K Remote. So basically you can’t add a Black Apple TV Remote and the Apple TV 4K Remote together, one overrides the other.
