Not possible. If you have an iPad mini5, you require a first generation Apple Pencil.
The second generation Apple Pencil is only compatible with the 2018/2020 iPad Pro and the new (as yet unreleased) iPad Air4.
Here is the current compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:
Apple Pencil (2nd generation)
You can use Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with these iPad models:
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later
- iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later
Apple Pencil (1st generation)
You can use Apple Pencil (1st generation) with these iPad models:
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (1st or 2nd generation)
