Usb gsm modem not recognised

Hi I have a Windows 11 machine running virtualbox vm with home assistant os. I have a USB gsm modem which I have plugged into the windows pc and its created a virtual com port 4. Using putty I can send AT command’s and it works fine.
On the ha vm I have enabled serial ports and have mapped com1 (vm) to com4 (windows) host device but ha does not seem to pick it up in devices am i missing something?
Any help would be appreciated
