OK, this is not your fault, but be aware of two things: 1. "non-UEFI
option" is a big fat lie, what it does is add another layer (a
compatibility support module), so there can be more bugs than without
it, but in any case your system now how even more differences in
behavior than pretty much everyone else's; 2. not all computers have
such an option. So to a lot of people, what you're describing above,
makes no sense.

How are you creating the USB stick? How does it fail? The description
"it fails" isn't helpful because it doesn't tell us what does happen.
There's no way to know from this description whether it fails to find
the bootloader (or which one, there's more than one possible).

Unsurprising (to me) that the CSM doesn't support USB booting. Any
legacy OS, which is what the CSM is meant for, will boot from a CD.
