Canon R50 manual focus with third party lens

Hi! I have Canon R50 and Laowa 90mm Macro lens, it doesn't have any contacts to connect to camera, but I have a question. Is something in camera what can help me to focus with this lens on the objects? i.e moving insects

I read this https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Manual-Focus-on-R50-quot-Focus-Mode-quot-setting-not-displayed/m-p/471033

I enabled the Release shutter w/o lens settings but "Focus Mode" setting doesn't appeared.
So maybe you can help me to use Canon R50 effectively with such a type of lense, maybe there is some guide)
Thanks)

You will still have to manually focus the lens (no tracking of moving insects), but you can try Manual Focus Peaking (MF Peaking in the menu) as shown on page 445 of the R50's advanced users manual. This should work but will only aid with manual focus.
