Thunderbolt 3 Cables

I have purchased 2 new External 1TB G-Drives SSD Drives 2800 MB/s Data Transfer Speed. The MacBook is really sensitive with the cables I use as well the power these drive take. So I had to buy a self powered usb HUB. Now the Mack Book won’t read the drives because of the wire from usb hub to Mac which is a USB B (printer) to Usb C it came with the device. Does anyone know or could recommend a cable that is USB B to Thunderbolt 3 C exist? I’m kinda done buying stuff that says it will work and then it doesn't only to return it the next day and try another recommended product.

The only thing that comes to mind is something officially sold by Apple, but I cant find anything on the webpage that has an USB-B port and then goes to USB-C or Thunderbolt 3.

At this point the question is what connector the drives themselves have - Im guessing USB-A. For those there are adapters on the apple webpage Here.
