Unlock terminal in Seagate 16TB helium

Hello,
I am working on a 16TB Seagate hard drive with the PC3000 tool.
Model: ST16000NM008G
FW: WZB3
PN: 2RP102-130
DATE: 23APR2021
The drive is recognized but reads very slowly, so I want to access the terminal, but I am having problems applying the tech mode patch.
I am reading both ROMs and loading them into RAID and applying the patch. (as I would with any Rosewood)
But when I burn the EPROMs and connect the card to the PC3000, I get an error in the status as if the card had no room.
Does anyone know the process for patching these drives correctly, or if there is no full support for these drives?

I suggest using Seatools and zero wipe the hard disk which should help recover standard performance.

The ROMs are there for standard operation of disks generally.
