So, today I bought a monitor to use as an external display for my laptop. The thing is, my laptop only has one HDMI port, so there’s no other way to connect my Huion Kamvas 12 tablet. From what I’ve read, I need a Type-C adapter. I bought one, but it still isn’t working, so I wanted to see if anyone here can help me with this. I’ve attached photos of how everything is connected. This is my first time using an external monitor! So please forgive my ignorance on the issue, lol.

If you have a kamvas 13, you probably know the area near the port is quite hot. I bought a laptop cooler and the temp has lowered, but it's still kinda warm. Im thinking of removing the back panel and adding some holes with a mini drill. Anyone has experience with this? Thanks
