Are you certain that you have an iPad mini5 - and not an earlier model iPad mini that does not support the Apple Pencil?
Settings > General > About > Model Name
Not sure which iPad you have? Identify your iPad model.
Here is Apple’s definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support
As you will see, an iPad mini5 supports the first generation Apple Pencil - and iPad mini6 uses the second generation Pencil. The Pencil’s can only be used with the compatible model iPad - and are not interchangeable.
