Connecting New MacBook to 2017 iMac

I'd like to use my 2017 iMac as a display for my 2021 MacBook Pro. I have connected the two with a thunderbolt to a USB-c and I can not for the life of me figure out why it isn't working. I looked online and think its connected the correct way. Is this even possible? thanks

Not supported for MacBook Pro after 2019 or running later than Catalina.


Obtain a Monitor or use a TV set instead.
