Connection 4G modem to Mikrotik BaseBox2

Please, help.
I have a basebox2 with OpenWrt on a board. I'm trying to connect my Huawei E3372 to send some pocket to server, but there is a problem...
I tried to install these packages:

The essence of the problem: some old modems, such as the Huawei E1550 and Huawei E150, are detected and automatically installed by the system without any problems. However, these modems are discontinued. And the modems that I need: E3372 or E303, do not work correctly.
Both modems are defined, but cannot be used - the necessary drivers are missing / not enough manipulations with them, etc.
E3372 modem detected by system as /dev/sda

Please, help. Give some tips.
With love your [username] <3

Sounds like you should start by switching the modem from flash drive to modem with usb-modeswitch.

A search in the forum might reveal helpful topics regarding E3372.

Some time ago, usb_modeswitch changed some of its configurations. How to use usb_modeswitch correctly to change modem mode? For example, you can use this data.
(VID: 1234, PID: 5678)

You need to run some commands for your modem to find out.
