Can't change RAM allocation or the server wont start up.

I have bought a new raspberry pi with more ram and want to allocate more ram to the server. I cannot change the ram allocation in the startup script or the server wont boot at all and the terminal opens and closes instantly. I cant even allocate 1gb more to it (from 1.5 to 2 or 3) just the exact ram. cd /home/pi/Desktop/PaperMC java -Xms6G -Xmx6G \ -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled \ -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200 -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions \ -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 \ -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=30 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=4M \ -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:G1HeapWastePercent=5 \ -XX:G1MixedGCCountTarget=4 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=15 \ -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=90 -XX:G1RSetUpdatingPauseTimePercent=5 \ -XX:SurvivorRatio=32 -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=1 \ -Dusing.aikars.flags=https://mcflags.emc.gs -Daikars.new.flags=true \ -jar paper-1.20.1-52.jar nogui pause Are my startup scripts. If I change java -Xms6G -Xmx6G \ into java -Xms1024M -Xmx1536M \ it does work. I cannot do 4G or higher even thought it should be able to The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I think I found the problem, the raspbian 32bit can only allocate max 4gigabyte of ram so if I upgrade it to the 64bit version it should work properly.
