Correctly exposed RAW photos become excessively dark when viewed in Lightroom or Photoshop

Hello. I have a Sony A7-S3 camera and a 24-70 GM 1 lens. I did not encounter any problems with the nearly 30,000 photos I previously took with the Fujifilm X-H2 camera and edited in Lightroom and Photoshop applications. However, I have been switching to my new camera Sony for 2 weeks now and I am having an interesting problem when correcting RAW photos. When I upload my photos to Lightroom or Photoshop they are extremely dark. It only does this when in RAW, JPEG is fine. I'm sure I didn't make any mistakes in exposure, I'm a professional photographer. At the same time, there is no problem with the camera because when I open it in other applications, the exposure and photo are correct; like on camera. But when I opened them in Adobe they were ruined. I am having an incredibly big problem.

When I researched on the internet, I saw that switching to sRGB mode with color management worked, but it did not work for me. I deleted the apps and reinstalled them, nothing changed. My computer and graphics card are up to date. I have a new Monster computer with i7, RTX 4060 8 gb and 32 gb ram. I also edited photos I took with other cameras on this computer without any problems. I need help!

 

I left a photo below as an example. One is what I saw in Lightroom and the other is the original photo.
