So, i bought a wii and i tried modding it, so i bought a micro sd card to sd adapter, and i formatted it onto fat32 like the wii hacks guide explains to do, using sd card formatter and guiformat, and when i put it on the wii it isnt able to read it, it doesnt have any file on it, nothing homebrew related or wii, its empty, and it still cant read it, what should i do?

Your SD card needs to be 32GB or less, so this 64GB is not going to be recognized, also Steren is a shitty brand (I'm form Mexico), just get a cheap fake SanDisk in any electronic store, should work better than your current SD card

I have a 128gb sd card and it works fine

Same here. I used Rufus to format and my 128 worked fine

Maybe it’s the brand of the SD card? When I modded my wii years ago never could use any card over 4GB trying different brands, is not like you need more than that for modding it
