Good evening, I would like to get clarification on one point please. I recently purchased a 4K TV and a TCL soundbar. There is indeed an HDMI ARC port on the TV, but there are no HDMI ports on the soundbar. What would you recommend? Should I connect it with an optical cable or use a USB/HDMI adapter for output from the soundbar?
Thank you in advance for your responses.

But of course, it's quite simple. Your TV has an optical output and your soundbar has a similar input; you just need to get a good optical cable:
HOWEVER, there might be a configuration to do in the audio menu of the TV if it doesn't work spontaneously = check external speakers or something like that
