iMac,2017 system 11.6 and SanDisk SSD drive help plz

I'm trying to create a startup disk using a SanDisk SSD external Drive.

When I try to install system software using Disk Utility it doesn't see the drive.

But the drive does show up on the desktop and is usable as storage

but for some reason not seeing as a startup disk.

Any thoughts appreciated
