Sidecar Not working Properly

My Mackbook pro is updated to Monterey 12.0.1 and my Ipad pro(2nd generation) is updated to 15.5. When I try to connect sidecar via usb it doesn't work. I have trusted the device it is shown over in the Finder. I even keep getting a wireless error.(ipad has timed out).


How do I troubleshoot this problem?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
