My apple TV 4th generation does not have a usb port to connect usb cable

I am trying to restore my Apple TV (4th generation) and it states "On the back of your Apple TV (4th generation), plug in a USB-C cable." , but there is not place to plug in a USB-C cable. The Apple TV just has power cord , HDMI , and wifi connections. What now?

If it has no USB-C port, then you do not have a 4th Generation Apple Tv, but a 4K Apple TV.

Instructions for restoring the 4K Apple Tv are different to the 4th Generation Apple TV. A 4K Apple Tv cannot be restored through iTunes.
