You can disable viewpager2 scroll by setting isUserInputEnabled to false
viewPager2.isUserInputEnabled = false
This will disable all events, but in your case i think you need to disable move down action only, you need to intercept touch listener and call requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)
on view pager.
You can use this wrapper from google samples
/**
* Layout to wrap a scrollable component inside a ViewPager2. Provided as a solution to the problem
* where pages of ViewPager2 have nested scrollable elements that scroll in the same direction as
* ViewPager2. The scrollable element needs to be the immediate and only child of this host layout.
*
* This solution has limitations when using multiple levels of nested scrollable elements
* (e.g. a horizontal RecyclerView in a vertical RecyclerView in a horizontal ViewPager2).

class NestedScrollableHost : FrameLayout {
constructor(context: Context) : super(context)
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : super(context, attrs)
private var touchSlop = 0
private var initialX = 0f
private var initialY = 0f
private val parentViewPager: ViewPager2?
get() {
var v: View? = parent as? View

parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)

val isVpHorizontal = orientation == ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL
// assuming ViewPager2 touch-slop is 2x touch-slop of child
val scaledDx = dx.absoluteValue * if (isVpHorizontal) .5f else 1f
val scaledDy = dy.absoluteValue * if (isVpHorizontal) 1f else .5f
if (scaledDx > touchSlop || scaledDy > touchSlop) {
if (isVpHorizontal == (scaledDy > scaledDx)) {
// Gesture is perpendicular, allow all parents to intercept
parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false)
} else {
// Gesture is parallel, query child if movement in that direction is possible
if (canChildScroll(orientation, if (isVpHorizontal) dx else dy)) {

parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(true)

parent.requestDisallowInterceptTouchEvent(false)
}
}
}
}
}
}
Then wrap your view pager contents -recyclerView- ,
<androidx.viewpager2.integration.testapp.NestedScrollableHost
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp">
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="@+id/first_rv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF" />
</androidx.viewpager2.integration.testapp.NestedScrollableHost>
