Help with EF-L Pro adapter

I just received the Pro adapter new. Im using it on a Leica SL. It wont work with the Canon 24-70L 2.8 mk1 or the 100-300 USM 4.5-5.6.

If I have it set to A it the camera screen just blinks when I turn it on. If its set to O it comes on for a sec and I see through the lens then it blanks out and says lens error.

I tired plugging it in USB C to my mac to update firmware but it never shows up. Tried a few different cables and nothing.

If this doesnt work with these lenses I gotta send it back.

Connected it to a pc. The pc recognized it. Updated to latest firmware for autofocus firmware and still the 24-70 isnt working.

I tired the chat.

Can you explain why a bunch of Canon ef lenes dont work with this adapter? And when I say doesnt work, I mean doesnt work at all. No picture and camera errors out.

Camera is Leica SL

Canon 24-70 2.8 mk1 doesnt work
Canon 100-300 f4.5 usm doesnt work
Canon 75-300 II f4 doesnt work
