CF card reader not recognized on Mac mini M2 but worked on previous Mac

Hi my Mac mini m2 will not recognise my CF card reader I have tried other card readers and still have the same result, my previous Mac computer had no problem.

I am a video editor and all my footage is on cf cards, at the moment I have to use my old computer to to retrieve the files then ut them on a memory stick then transfer them onto the Mac mini, I bought the mini m2 to update to a better faster machine but I'm still using my old 2009 Mac Pro tower, please can you help me solve this issue and make my life easier.

Many thanks

Kind regard
