Can’t connect mouse with usb cable while reinstalling MacOS Catalina

Hi, I did factory reset my iMac and started to reinstall macOS. Can’t connect bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I tried USB cable to connect keyboard and it worked. But mouse is not connecting even with the USB.

I am stuck at the stage of “select the disk where you want to install macOS”. I can’t select.

Help please.

Thank you.

iMac (2017 – 2020)

Make sure the mouse is on and charged, or had fresh batteries. If that doesn't work, obtain any USB wired mouse to connect with. Doesn't have to be expensive.
