I have a samsung galaxy tab s6 lite and I was going to put TWRP recovery on it but when I gone to download/odin mode it just says "starting fastboot".
Its not the usb drivers or anything because when I do lsusb on my PC it recognized it but not the odin software.
Can someone tell me is there a way to fix it?

Looks like you used 'adb reboot bootloader' for entering download mode?
This works on older samsung devices, but on devices launched with Q samsung has a very limited fastboot in bootloader, so to boot to download mode you have to do 'adb reboot download' instead of bootloader
But keep in mind that if you still need to unlock your bootloader you have to boot to download mode using the method described in TWRP thread (with volume up and down) else the unlock option won't be available
