You need to connect your stick through a USB2 hub to the Pi. The stick is telling the Pi it supports USB3 when it does not.

I am using USB 2 port (not Blue) for the stick.

Not sure if that works. I know from here & Pi forums that a hub was recommended as a workaround. I just thought I would mention it. Perhaps others using a Pi 4 can chime in.

USB 2 Hub did the trick.
Thanks

So, it does not work with the USB2 port on the Pi4?
Thanks for verifying and updating us.

I can confirm this worked for me as well…

If you have a long usb cable (>5m) between the pi and the stick it will work, too.
