USB Hubs mount as USB2 with USB 3 drives

Hi there, I'm on GA-Z270x-Ultra Gaming 5, Intel I7 7700k, RX580. Running Big Sur 11.7.10, on OC.

I've remapped USB today to tidy up and work out whats going on - I have hubs plugged into HS/SS07 and HS/SS08 - they're USB 3 hubs, but I can only mount USB 3 drives on 08. Fine - it works - both hubs are after 3m extensions so I wonder if that is a factor?

Question really is that the hubs appear as you can see in the picture on HS as USB 2 hubs. On the one that works - if it's a USB3 drive plugged in will it still work at USB 3 speeds even if it appears as a USB2? Couldn't find much about this from searching around.

Sorry if that's garbled - it's been a frustrating day! Thanks for any advice.
