MacBook Pro Thunderbolt Port Issues

Hi guys. I am experiencing two issues. 1. My battery indicator or the top side of my Mac is always displaying the battery charging, whether the Mac is charing or not (it is always the exact same status in picture 1 24/7). 2. My MacBook Pro 2019 13" has four thunderbolt ports, 2 on the left and 2 on the right. However, the two on the left ones do not seem to work. Something interesting is that when I plug the power adapter into the left thunderbolt, it does not charge. However if I plug a thunderbolt hub (refer to picture 2) and plug my mouse and power adapter through it, the mouse seems to work but the laptop does not charge. Can anyone help me?

That seems normal if it is on hold...


bypass the hub if it is an issue.
