USB device not working after moving from MacOS host to Ubuntu host

So I moved a Windows XP guest from a MacOS host to an Ubuntu 26.04 host on a new computer and now I can’t get a USB device to work (ROM programmer). It used to work perfectly when the host was MacOS. I made a USB filter for it and it and VirtualBox sees it and it’s enabled in the VM. It’s also shown in the Device Manager in the Windows XP guest, but yet the associated software doesn’t see it. Anyone know what I may be missing here? Is Ubuntu not letting the VM take control of the hardware? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Edit: I have latest guest additions and extension pack installed. Running VirtualBox 7.2.6.
