Hello helpme534,

Don't connect it to a hub, connect it directly to the Mac itself. If needed use an adapter, like the one from the resource you came from to accomplish this: About the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter or learn more here: Adapters for the Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, or USB-C port on your Mac

You can find the ports that you can use here: iMac 24-inch - Technical Specifications - Apple

Wishing you well.

Cheers!
