Issues with calibre editing collections on an older kindle

Heyhey! I'm trying to get my old kindle(4th gen) up and running again but am having issues using calibre to edit the collections my ebooks are in on my kindle.

Most of my ebooks in my kindle are in a collection of some sort but calibre is only displaying maybe half the library as being in one. If I try to manually change the collections of my ebooks in calibre I get the error below. I can change collections fine on my kindle itself but wanted to change things around in bulk in calibre itself.

I've tried googling around but haven't had the best luck finding the below error but maybe I'm not looking at the right places.

Editing of collections on kindles is not supported. Amazon does nto expose the collections over a USB connection.
