Can’t open encrypted system partition from another device

I have two boot devices. A HDD and a NVME SSD. Both have their Windows 10 system partition encrypted with VeraCrypt v1.25.x. I can boot & log into both just fine.

The problem

When I plug the HDD/SSD into my laptop externally via an USB cable & try to open the encrypted system partition to browse the file system, VeraCrypt denies me saying I provided an incorrect password/PIM. That is not the case however as I’m able to boot into both just fine as mentioned previously. Surprisingly that’s only the case with encrypted system partitions. Any other partition on the same device opens perfectly.
