Cant get Lightroom Classic to tether to and detect Sony a7v even though Imaging Edge Desktop can

I am trying to tether my Sony A7V to Lightroom Classic on my MacBook Pro.  When I try Lightroom just gets stuck trying to detect my camera.  I was able to connect my camera using Imaging Edge Desktop so I know it's not an issue between my camera and computer or my USB-C cable.  Both my camera and Lightroom are completely up to date.  I’ve tried following every tutorial I can find but I haven't found any specific to using the A7V.  My menu titles are all slightly different and in different spots than older versions of the camera so I’m not 100% sure I have everything set up right on my camera.  Since it is working with Imaging Edge though, I assume I am.  I’ve also tried deleting Lightroom Classic preferences on my Mac which I saw in a few posts with similar situations but the files I was supposed to delete did not exist.  Could it be something to do with my camera being a relatively new release?  I have only started being able to open RAW files in adobe in the last couple months because it hadn't caught up with my camera yet so I don't know if there's an update or something I have to wait for to make my camera compatible with Lightroom?
