Enable USB-C hub on iMac silicon with Ventura

I have seen a lot of talk about this problem, but need to know if we have a fix for this. Particulars are: iMac silicon with two USB-C ports, recently upgraded from Monterrey to Ventura trying to find a fix. I have an iKling 9 to 1 USB hub plugged into one of the USB-C ports, and have an ethernet cable plugged in, as well as an Apple DVD/CD drive plugged into the hub's USB-A port. Ethernet is working fine to a printer, but the DVD/CD drive is not seen/not working. Drive works fine when plugged into my Apple Air laptop. I see talk of having to enable/ authorize the USB-C hub to Ventura, but do not know how to do that on the iMac Ventura. Updates for Ventura on a laptop say to use System Preferences/Security, but I don't get the 'Allow accessories to connect' on the iMac. Any suggestions?

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)
