Can you extend MacBook Pro 2020 (Intel i5 not M1) onto two external monitors? Ultimately having 3 separate screens when including MacBook screen?

I have a docking station with 2 external monitors hooked up to it. The issue is that when I plug in my MacBook, my MacBook screen is extended but the external displays are duplicates.
I also have a Windows and when I plug in my Windows machine I get 3 different screens, no duplicates. I cannot figure out how to extend my display to all monitors without there being a duplicate screen.
Wait, you did not say anything about a docking station.
Your MAC supports connecting two additional hardware-accelerated displays of high resolution, DIRECTLY to your computer.
If you would like to debug the problems with your docking station we can do that, but need make& model or a link to its capabilities to research.
Ahhhh. I see, I did not realize I had to plug them directly into my MacBook.
This is my docking station: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z53139N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for your help.
Further down they clarify just how bad it is:
Supported Display Modes and Resolution for macOS
macOS currently only support Mirror Display.All the external display will only mirror instead of extend
When using three video output ports simultaneously, connecting or disconnecting any one of the video output will disconnect the remaining two video connections and reconnect for 5 seconds.
The article you linked in with says you can.
¿What is the controversy?
Ha. I swear they must have updated that after I purchased it. Thanks for all your help.
