Welcome to Android Central! What kind of USB device are you trying to use? A flash drive?

Yes a flash drive

This thread suggests that the stock firmware doesn't support OTG, and that you'd have to flash a custom ROM: https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-a5/531811-otg-support-samsung-a5.html. You could try an app like Easy OTG Checker to confirm the presence or absence of support.
