2010 Apple Cinema Display to 2019 MacBook Pro

The connections I found that *finally* worked for me were using 2 out of 3 of the cords coming out of the back of the Cinema Display (VGA and monitor cord - not sure what c-shaped plug is?) and plugging it into an adapter like this:

What this adapter is called I can't say. Maybe someone can speak up here? I know they're hard to find. Apple doesn't make them anymore. Mine came from the eBay seller who sold me the monitor.

Then this adapter breaks off into two cords – USB and a display cord:

Display cord goes to the UpTab device and the USB cord will need to go into a USB to USB-C adapter:

Both of these end in USB-C cords which need to go directly into your MacBook Pro. Which eats up 2 out of the four of your USB-C ports on your computer. But you get a big beautiful screen for your sacrifice.

Wondering if there's a USB-C splitter that would give me some more joy?

*Not a tech expert

• Figured this out after 3 weeks of research and experimentation with a variety of plugs and adapters – 2 of which an Apple store sold me but didn't work.
