Making USB to SATA DVD drive show up as sr0 in Debian

I have a WH16NS40 DVD drive that I want to use on my Debian 12 virtual machine. The drive is inside a Vantec NexStar DX2 USB 3.0 external enclosure, which connects to the DVD drive via a standard SATA cable. I had it working and was able to read and write ISOs to discs from my Debian 12 workstation, but when I plugged it into my hypervisor (Proxmox) and passed the USB device through to the VM, it does not show up as sr0 in lsblk and is not in /dev for sr0. The USB part does show up though, as shown below. lsusb

Even before I put a disc in the drive, it was present in my workstation as /dev/sr0. But not here. My workstation is running KDE desktop, are there packages that come with KDE that make detecting these USB enclosures more accurate? How can I force the OS to consider this USB device a CDROM device and assign it as sr0? Thanks in advance!
