Connecting to Mac

I use a software called Android File Transfer that has worked in the past to allow me to connect my oculus quest to my mac. I tried downloading SideQuest and began following the instructions for connecting the oculus to it. Also, I am in developer mode. The Oculus does not show up on my computer and renders non-existent, and the message for the USB Debugging is also non-existent. I tried turning off developer mode, but the Oculus still does not appear on the mac.

Spent an hour on this. In the end nothing worked so i decided on a last gamble to buy a new cable, Got a 3.1 USB to USB-C cable and it connected straight away.

I can see my quest 2 with lsusb command as a device, but adb devices doesn't work and I never get the "usb debugging" dialog when I enabled dev mode and plug it into my mac (catalina) .. this is suck a freaking pain.  I need to find another cable, I'm testing with the one that came with my Quest 1.. I do have to note that I can transfer files to the device, but for anything I want to do such as development I'm at a loss and really dont want to boot into windows 10..
