Linking 2 Displays to my MacBook Air 13'

My MacBook Air has only 2 USBc ports, and I have 2 monitors I need to connect to it. I need to use one of those ports for my charger, and when I attach one of the monitors via DisplayPort to USBc via the dock that I was given, the monitor does not connect. I've tried this with 2 different docks and neither is working. Any input or troubleshooting ideas? I've tried "Detect Displays" but this does not help.

Using DisplayPort to USBc for both. HDMI -> HDMI also does not work for the monitor when I put it into the dock.

The current MacBook Airs do not support 2 displays. Only one display is supported via the USB-C connection.

Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

One external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz

Thunderbolt 3 digital video output

Native DisplayPort output over USB-C
VGA, HDMI, DVI, and Thunderbolt 2 output supported using adapters (sold separately)
