Traktor Kontrol Z1 not recognised on Ableton Live 10 on MacBook Air M2 (Ventura 12.3)

Hi,
I've recently purchased a Traktor Kontrol Z1 second-hand.
When I've gone to plug it into my laptop it flashes momentarily then goes off again. My laptop is picking it up in audio but when I go to MIDI port on Ableton, it's not coming up.
I have tried downloading the Audio 2 DJ driver but this is not installing and says 'Installation Failed. Contact Software Manufacturer'.
I am also wondering if it's the USB connection and have just bought a USB-C - USB 2.0 port adapter...
Can anyone tell me why the Audio 2 DJ driver will not install? I feel like this might be the issue but also... if anyone has any other ideas, I would greatly appreciate this!
I've got a gig coming up soon and need to get practicing!
