Is it a led Cinema Display or a Thunderbolt Display? This is important to know as some fixes work with the Thunderbolt Display (as in, use a thunderbolt 2 to usb c adapter) that are not necessarily working with the LED Cinema Display

For the thunderbolt display, use Apple's thunderbolt 2 to USB c cable to connect the display to your new Mac

For the LED Cinema Display you'll want a mini DisplayPort to USB C but they are a lot harder to get and they're not available via Apple
