How do we change the cursor starting position of a text field component of Material UI (Version 5.14.6)?

Question

How do we change the cursor starting position of a text field component of Material UI? We are using the latest version of material UI and we are using Test Field component in my project but the cursor stating position is not at right place. So, how we change the starting position of the cursor.

We try these 3 methods

First

<TextField
  // ... other props
  sx={{
    "& input": {
      padding: "10px",
    },
  }}
/>

Second

<TextField
  label="Username"
  placeholder="Enter your username"
  inputProps={{ selectionStart: 5 }} // Set the starting cursor position
/>

Third, we use useRef to acheive this but this is also not working

    import React, { useState, useEffect, useRef } from "react";
import TextField from "@mui/material/TextField";

export default function CustomizedTextField() {
  const [startCursorPosition, setStartCursorPosition] = useState(5);
  const inputRef = useRef(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (inputRef.current) {
      inputRef.current.focus();
      inputRef.current.setSelectionRange(startCursorPosition, startCursorPosition);
    }
  }, [startCursorPosition]);

  return (
    <TextField
      label="Username"
      placeholder="Enter your username"
      inputRef={inputRef}
      onFocus={() => setStartCursorPosition(5)} // Set the desired starting position
    />
  );
}

You can access the html input field style properties of the TextField component by using the inputProps property.

<TextField 
  size="small"
  inputProps={{
    style: {
      paddingLeft: "50px"
    }
  }}
/>
