VirtualScroll, VirtualItem does not work on PopoverPage

My main page has a popover which has to display a list that I have in an object called “indices” when printing with a * ngFor it found me perfectly, the problem I have is that this list can have between 50 and 2000 items so which when printing with the * ngFor becomes very slow or the memory gives error, so I wanted to put a VirtualScroll but it does not display anything.
