org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: Cannot click on element

Question

I am trying to click on the dropdown menu in my web application and then click on the sub items which are in DIV. Below is the code which I am trying to execute.

WebElement mnuElement;
WebElement submnuElement;

mnuElement = driver.findElement(By.id("CollectorsTab"));
//  Thread.sleep(3000);

submnuElement = driver.findElement(By.id("IdentityCollectorsTab"));

Actions builder = new Actions(driver);
// Move cursor to the Main Menu Element
builder.moveToElement(mnuElement).perform();
// Pause 2 Seconds for submenu to be displayed
TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(2); //Pause 2 seconds
// Clicking on the Hidden submnuElement
submnuElement.click();

I have read in some of the questions that of trying more wait which also I have tried but I am getting all the time below error.

Try below code to click on submenu

WebElement mnuElement;
WebElement submnuElement;

mnuElement = driver.findElement(By.id("CollectorsTab"));
submnuElement = driver.findElement(By.id("IdentityCollectorsTab"));

Actions action = new Actions(driver);
action.moveToElement(mnuElement).clickAndHold(submnuElement).click().build().perform();

Sometime we need to click and hold and then have to click on submenu. Hope this code help
