trying to format a usb flash drive as fat32 but I do not get the option

Hi there I was going to format my usb stick as fat 32 in disk manager but I do not get the option for my usb flash drive. Is there a way I can make this work?

Thanks in advance

FWIW, the MS-DOS (FAT) setting defaults to FAT32 unless the flash drive is under 32GB, in which case it uses FAT16.
