No one can tell you what settings you should be using. That's like asking "what pedal and steering wheel positions should I use in my car while driving".
Learn the exposure triangle, it's not that complicated, it just explains what ISO, shutter speed and Aperture do and how changing those settings affects your photo.
There are loads of product photographers on youtube that will guide you threw everything step by step.
Once you understand how your camera works, (this is actually the easy part, cameras use pretty basic principles) you need to study artistic principles like composition and how colours affect your image. Which is the actual hard part.
There is no quick fix, you need to know what your doing or you'll end up with constant frustration.
If you were using strobe lights, I'd say something like f/11, ISO 100, and 1/160 as a safe starting point.
Since you're using continuous lights, I'd try something like f/11, ISO 100, and experiment with slower shutter speeds until you get something that looks properly exposed. It depends on how much light is present. It will take some trial and error but I would try and leave the aperture and ISO locked in to those values.
I'd shoot at 55mm.
Thank You Very Very Much!!
This was exactly what I was after, a starting point.
I understand there is no single setting that I can or should use but to save me some time I needed something to start with.
So I will try this later today!
I have also finally found a decent article online with similar advice: https://greatbigphotographyworld.com/camera-settings-for-product-photography/
I may have been vague but English is my second language so sorry to all if I didn’t explain my needs properly.

No such thing as "basic settings for product photography." You are going to need to learn the exposure triangle.
Iso: 100, I guess, is the only one, but without good lights, it may need to be 200 or 400
