How to solder an XLR cable (BM800 and scarlett solo)?

Good evening friends, help solder the damn cable. There is a condenser microphone and an external scarlett solo USB sound card, but I don’t have an XLR male-female cable, but I can’t solder it (it refuses to work).
Soldered according to the following pinout:
pin1 - 1
pin2 - 2
pin3 -3
DOES NOT WORK.
The previous cable from the microphone was XLR - and miniJack with usb for power. Well, I decided to disassemble it, it is arranged as follows:
XLR case - "ground type" goes to usb
pin1 - white goes to usb
pin2 - red to jack
pin3 - "ground type" to jack (not related to the case)
If I leave the USB, plug it into the computer, and cut off the jack and solder the red one to the XLR (which is on the card) pin2, then the microphone comes to life, it flickers, but everything works.
How to assemble the cable correctly!? The card has 48v phantom power! Maybe there is some other pinout!? does it need to be soldered to the XLR case on the card and may not work because of this

Under the guise of BM-800 on the well-known Chinese site, there are at least 2 versions - powered by USB + 3.5-inch and 48V phantom power with balanced output.
Both that and other versions - average scall. In your case, in order to use phantom power from the sound card, you will have to change almost the entire "stuffing" of the microphone.
Well, or as an option, if the seller sent you something wrong - demand a refund and buy the correct version again.
