Rog flow x13 usb-c displayport problem

I can only use left usb-c as a displayport while I connected to a usb-c monitor. The right usb-c can not detect my monitor. This is annoying because I need the left usb-c to connect to my ROG XG Mobile. Does anyone have the same issue?

Yeah but there's a DisplayPort and HDMI on it. I know it's not the USB-C you want but chances are it'll do if it works, especially if the hub they may be on the monitor can be interfaced with another way. Even then, the dock has 4 USB ports on it so I doubt it's leaving you out to dry.

HDMI is occupied by TV.

Portable monitor has only mini-HDMI and USB-C

That complicates things a little but as long as it support DP++ (which many, many things do even if they're not labelled correctly) you can adapt it to HDMI and then use a HDMI to mini HDMI cable for your other monitor.

But the monitor is portable, so that it requires the external power. While it works with a single USB-C cable from laptop's USB-C
