Adoptable storage issues

So I have an issue with the adoptable storage with my moto G4 Plus 16gb
I already swapped out the phone at the store, checked with a 32gb card to see if it works, but when I tried with my 128gb card it didn't seem to work, after that, the 32gb card also didn't work anymore.
I'm using a Samsung 128gb class 10 U1 card.

The issue:
When I adopt the storage, the phone does merge it in settings, but when I want to migrate data/apps to it, an error message occurs "there was an error in estimating the data to be moved. Please try again later"
I can move an app to it, but just one by one, and I can't use the adopted storage for media or other files, just apps (one by one).

Anyone know the cause or fix?
(With some people it does work with 64gb cards, but I know someone with the Moto G4 Play 16gb who tried a 64gb card facing the same problems, so now I think the people who have it working are just lucky...)

I find that when adopting storage the best time is after you factory reset.

But if not possible try clearing your storage > internal > cache

Or try adopting in safe mode.
( This was tried with success according to a reddit page).
