How can I charge a VN7-593G via Thunderbolt

Hi everyone,
I've recently bought the VN7-593G and a Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 Dock. Now both seem to be working perfectly fine except the notebook won't charge when connected to the docking station. The dock's AC has 135 Watt just like the original and I know that Notebooks of other brands do charge when connected to this particular dock.
Is there anything I can do or need to activate at the Aspire so it's able to charge via Thunderbolt?
Has anyone successfully charged their Aspire via a Thunderbolt Dock?
Thanks in advance!

So basically none of Acer's notebooks (from this list) support charging via TB3?This website provides different information: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/product/acer-aspire-v-15-nitro-0

Also isn't Power Delivery via TB3 something different from USB PD in general?

No, it is the same. By USB PD they mean from the Type C port not the Type A.
