Hey everyone… I'm trying to find a 3.2 gen 2 header for a USB 2.0 adapter, but it's proving really tough. Anyone know of similar setups or solutions?

USB 3 works backward with 2, mainly depending on the correct connector. If you have a USB C port but need an A device, adapters are easily found. For instance: https://a.co/d/1baaeU0. You can also purchase a USB C hub featuring several A ports.
