Hello,
I have bought the following items:
I have connected all these things like this:
But it is not working. SSD not detected.
Is this setup is supposed to work or not ?
Thanks!

where are you getting drive power from? it will not be supplied by the Apple ThunderBolt 3 to 2 adapter:
This adapter is bidirectional, which means you can use it to connect Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac that has a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port. In that case, the Mac must be using macOS Sierra or later, and the device using Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) must provide its own power.

It is only the ThunderBolt 3-to-2 adapter that is not passing power along. Once you don't need that, or can supply power from a self powered Dock or other device, you should be where you expected to be: facing a working (but blank) drive.
Ok!!!
So does it means it will work if I am using a dock that is Ac-powered, by the time I get my new computer ?
