Adding more than one external monitor to laptop - Aspire 5 A515-56-7404

I have an Aspire 5 A515-56-7404 Notebook. The graphics card (Intel Iris Xe) supports 4 monitors. There is one HDMI port, one USB 2.0 port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type C port (not Thunderbolt).

I have one external monitor connected to the HDMI port and it works great. If I connect a second external monitor to any of the other ports on my laptop, there is no signal. Additionally, I connected a 4URPC USB-C Dual display Docking Station to my laptop's USB C port and connected my monitors to it but it does not work, either.

If my laptop supports 4 monitors, how am I supposed to connect them? Thank you for your help!!

When you say it supports 4 monitors how do you mean,? If it's from the GPU spec sheet that will be 'upto' if they are added to the board rather than on every machine . To get more than one screen you will need to use usb displaylink adapters to shuttle video over usb

The docking station you purchased only supports systems with DP over USB-C. Your system doesn't have that support. To add more displays (and it's independent of the GPU features) is to add a dock that generates it's own video. There are lots of them, but they tend to be more expensive than the one you got.
