installation of smm end with "could not find secret reference for sa"

[Filip Po]

Hello, I'm trying to install SMM (Calisti), and I end with this error. Can you help me?
Cluster is built by RKE2 Rancher.
smm-reader is not present in secrets:

> kubectl -n smm-system get secret
NAME TYPE DATA AGE
prometheus-smm-prometheus Opaque 1 7h15m
prometheus-smm-prometheus-tls-assets Opaque 0 7h15m
prometheus-smm-prometheus-web-config Opaque 1 7h15m
smm-authentication Opaque 1 7h18m
smm-prometheus-additional-configs Opaque 3 7h18m
smm-pull-secret kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson 1 7h24m

✗ error during operator reconcile: could not get reader secret resource: could not find secret reference for sa (sa=smm-system/smm-reader)

Thank you.

SOLVED by RTM:

"The cluster must run a Kubernetes version that Istio supports. For Istio 1.13.x, these are Kubernetes 1.19, 1.20, 1.21 and 1.22."
I had v.1.24.
