You do not say what exact " new MacMacbook pro" this is...

Try a different cable

Try a different adapter

Test on a different Mac

Return it for one that works

How to connect the Apple USB SuperDrive - Apple Support

USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple

What is mentioned on that support page from Apple and what is commonly known to cause issues is connecting the SuperDrive via a USB hub. That really typically does not work, even though you might expect it to work, since most times USB devices work fine when connected to a hub.

Since your new MacBook Pro probably does not have USB-A ports, make sure you use one of the 3 supported adapters listed in the same Apple support page.
