Hifiberry DAC+ Pro not being detected

Hey yall, I am very new to this but I have recently bought a Hifiberry Dac+ Pro recently and I have not been able to get it to work. I have looked at posts for solutions and this and that yet the problem persists. I select the correct I2S version for my model and restart and try again and again but nothing. For that matter, I don’t believe my device shows when I enter aplay -1. Please help and thanks in advance.
