If your MacBook Air is running macOS 14.6 (Sonoma), that suggests that it is a relatively recent model which has USB-C ports. But you haven't really provided enough information for anyone to help you.
You need to provide some more details, such as
- Which MacBook Air you have
- Which monitor you are trying to connect
- How you are trying to connect it (cables, adapters, hubs, docks)
- Whether you are using any other monitors any other monitors
