How to Fix External Hard Drive not Mounting on Mac?

Hi, I recently bought a new apple Macbook Air running Monterey. When I go to use my external hard drive, it won’t mount. It works on my old Apple Macbook Air running El Capitan but not on my new Mac. I have downloaded NTFS for Mac where it sees the drive but won’t mount it. I tried Disk Utility where it gives an error code 49153. Can anyone help please?
