<< used a USBC to USB C cable from my 2021 MacBook pro >>
the only USB-C cable "shipped in the box" with a MacBook Pro is a CHARGE-ONLY cable. it has no data leads except for a keyboard, and can not possibly run a display at all.
If I were King, I would paint all these Charge-ONLY USB-C cables bright orange.
Thanks for the insight I think the answer is the cables I have been trying to use are incorrect.
It's great you've got this sorted and Grant is one of the most knowledgeable on Mac you can find anywhere!
He was very helpful and I am very grateful for all the help from everyone, but Grant solved my issue! Thank you so much!
