Select delivery methods as default

I want checked by default, the first available delivery method for a user (depending on the user’s status, the first available delivery method is not the same).
I tried that

function default_method( $method, $available_methods ) {
    $methods = array();
    foreach($available_methods as $meth){
        array_push($methods, $meth->get_instance_id());
    }
    $preferences = array(
        26, 
        4,
        41,
        40,
        34,
        33,
        42,
        37
    );

    // Check the preferred options and return it if it's available shipping option.
    foreach ( $preferences as $preference ) {
        if ( in_array( $preference, $methods ) ) {
            return $preference;
        }
    }
    return $method;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_shipping_chosen_method', 'default_method', 10, 3);

Each id in $ preferences corresponds to a delivery method id. On the delivery choice page, there is only one of these id’s present
But it does not work

How to do please ?

Thanks
