The
$ B_{(s)} $ to charmed meson semileptonic decays are important for measurements of the CKM matrix element$ |V_{cb}| $ and are also probes for new physics (NP) beyond the standard model (SM). Despite being a charged current channel, some intriguing hints of discrepancies have been observed by several experimental collaborations. Measurements of the ratios of branching fractions,$ \begin{aligned}[b] R(D^{(*)})= \frac{Br(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} \tau \bar{\nu}_\tau ) }{Br(B \rightarrow D^{(*)} l \bar{\nu}_l ) }, \quad l=e,\mu \end{aligned} $

$ 3.3 \sigma $ tension with their SM expectations when theDand$ D^* $ results are combined [1], which may imply violation of lepton flavor universality. To further confirm or rule out these hints, it is necessary to investigate the additional decay modes mediated by the same parton level transition, not only because these decays can give complementary information, but also because they constitute important backgrounds to$ R(D^{(*)}) $ measurements. Moreover, better theoretical control of these modes will help improve the determinations of$ |V_{cb}| $ and understand the composition of inclusive$ B_{(s)} \rightarrow X_c l \bar{\nu}_l $ decays in terms of relevant exclusive channels.In this study, we focus on the
$ B_{(s)} \rightarrow D^{**}_{(s)} l \bar{\nu}_l $ decays, with$ D^{**}_{(s)} $ denotingP-wave excited charmed mesons. Specifically [2],$ \begin{aligned}[b] D^{**} \in \{ D^*_0(2300), D_1(2430), D_1(2420), D^*_2(2460) \}, \end{aligned} $
