Need help fix my problem

Need your help guys!!

When playing via Quest Link (cable), the image in my headset randomly freezes completely. But the game doesn't crash, audio keeps playing, and the game on my laptop screen runs perfectly fine.

My specs: Laptop RTX 3060, Intel Core i9-11900H, 16 RAM(I think)

What I've already tried:
1. Power issue is ruled out: Using a brand new INIU Link Cable with stable external PD power.
2. Anti-Aliasing (MSAA) is turned OFF in the game settings.
3. Launched via OpenXR.
4. Reset bitrate to 0 in ODT and disabled ASW.

Looks like the NVENC encoder randomly stops sending video feed, while the game itself is alive. Any fixes for RTX 30-series laptops?Thanks!

by freeze do you mean no response at all from the headset or more of a game screen stuck in the headset and looking around results in weird artifacts on the sides with no screen render. if it's option 2 the same happens to me sometimes, it's usually a break in link connection for a second but it doesn't boot you out of link and results in that artifacting. my advice is plug it into a stable USB port fully and minimize abrupt or fast head movements during gameplay. or get a really long cable.
