You really should upgrade to Debian 11 and then use Samba from 
backports, this will get you to 4.17.6

How you upgrade will depend, to a certain extent, on how you are running 
Samba.

If you must continue to use your self compiled Samba, then you must set 
up your PATH correctly with /usr/local/samba at the beginning.
This is not without problems though.
