So far I got it already, only why I have 2 ports (HS02 & SS02) when I only plug 1 USB C HUB, do I need to delete HS02

I haven't seen the video yet, but the problems can be related to the USB3 counting as two ports and USB2 counting as one. So this should be taken in consideration because the 15 port limit.
Forgive me if this has been addressed in the video.

Hey @MaLd0n, what if we only activate the USB2 component (say, HSXX) for each USB2 port and JUST the USB3 component (for example, SSXX) for each USB3 port? Will that allow the USB3 ports to still function as USB3 (even if without any USB2 functionality), or will it cause problems?

Thanks

Thanks @MaLd0n I'll try it out and let you know how it goes...

UPDATE: I tried it but apparently the USB3 ports need power from the USB2 as well, to power USB3 drives, so they didn't work. I wanted to basically activate ALL my USB3 ports, and ONLY the USB2 that I need, and still stay within the 15-port limit set by Mac OS. Wishful thinking!

@MaLd0n My apologies, you are correct, as always! I am now able to see (with the exception of one - a WD My Passport Wireless Pro) USB 3 devices when connected. My issue now is that my Broadcom BRCM20702 Bluetooth and Wi-Fi hub is not connecting to my Bluetooth mouse anymore. Wi-Fi seems to be doing fine. I'm attaching my ioreg file for you to have a look. Please help...
