Make sure the plug you are using is made for data transfer and not just for charging

Yes, it is for data transfer. Plug into another S21, works. But not mind.

Try using another cable. If the problem persists it might be your port in the phone

Assuming that it is a Windows computer, try installing these drivers.  Some computers need these and others don't.  It's worth a shot.

I got it working by going into developer option and turn on the debugging usb. The computer recognized the phone. I haven't try your option yet. If I run into more problem, I will try that.
