A “4G SIM” is a misnomer. A SIM card just authenticates you to the network, it does not provision 4G / 5G. You don’t need a “5G SIM” to access NR.

OP can disable 5G in Settings if their carrier’s carrier bundle allows for that. Cellular Data > Voice & Data > 4G

You’re right, I didn’t know you could disable 5G from the phone, I thought you had to ask your network provider. I meant as in “test with a sim that has 4G and not 5G enabled” Thank you for the info!
