can I connect 3 displays to an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019)?

I have an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019). And I'm trying to connect 3 displays.

The two displays that I connected through thunderbolt works great. But the next one, that I connect through the screen port, won't work. If I unplug one of the other ones, then it's working. So it seems it's not letting me have 3 extra displays.

Any clues?
