I am on macOS bigsur ver. 11.0.1 and i cant get clamshell mode to work. I have 2 usb c hubs connected to my laptop, one for peripherals (mouse and keyboard) and one for the hdmi port and the lightning 3 charging. How come even with my macbook plugged in my external display shuts off when I close the laptop's lid.
