Multiple monitor setup issues. HDMI works fine but USB-C does not. I have the newest displaylink

So I have one of these for my laptop. It comes with several cables for you to choose from. You can either use HDMI + USB or USB-C to power each monitor. It worked great (literally plug and play) on my Windows laptop, but I'm trying to get it set up on Linux and it just will not display over USB-C.

I found this while searching and used it to install. I uninstalled the older EVDI version that came in the kernel and now have the latest version.
I have even tried with a USB-C hub, then using HDMI and USB to connect to it and it doesn't work. It seems to be the USB-C port itself. I know it works because I can use other devices with it and have used this monitor with Windows on the same laptop. Both monitors work if I switch the HDMI-USB cables between them.
It is detected with LSUSB, as well as every device connected to it. It has a USB port, for example, that my XBox controller is plugged into. It shows up as well with that command. I can use my XBox controller with it plugged into the monitor then plugged into the laptop via USB-C but can't render video to the monitor.Code:└─$dkms status evdi/1.11.0, 5.16.0-kali7-amd64, x86_64: installed realtek-rtl8814au/5.8.5.1~git20210730.824d1d2, 5.16.0-kali7-amd64, x86_64: installed realtek-rtl88xxau/5.6.4.2~git20211212.3a6402e, 5.16.0-kali7-amd64, x86_64: installed (WARNING!

XRandr just shows the internal display and the monitor connected via HDMI. I'm not sure what the DVI things are, honestly.Code:─$xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 HDMI-1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 263mm x 148mm 1920x1080 60.02*+ 59.96 60.00 50.00 59.94 59.93 24.00 23.98 1920x1200 59.88 59.95 1600x1200 75.00 70.00 65.00 60.00 1680x1050 74.89 69.88 60.02 59.95 59.88 1600x1024 60.17 1400x1050 74.76 70.00 59.98 1600x900 59.94 59.95 59.82 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 60.02 59.89 1400x900 59.96 59.88 1280x960 60.00 1440x810 60.00 59.97 1368x768 59.88 59.85 1360x768 59.80 59.96 1280x800 59.99 60.02 59.97 59.81 59.91 1152x864 75.00 75.00 70.00 60.00 1280x720 60.00 59.99 59.86 60.00 50.00 59.94 59.74 1024x768 75.05 60.04 75.03 70.07 60.00 960x720 75.00 60.00 928x696 75.00 60.05 896x672 75.05 60.01 1024x576 59.95 59.96 59.90 59.82 960x600 59.93 60.00 832x624 74.55 960x540 59.96 59.99 59.63 59.82 800x600 75.00 70.00 65.00 60.00 72.19 75.00 60.32 56.25 840x525 74.96 69.88 60.01 59.88 864x486 59.92 59.57 720x576 50.00 800x512 60.17 700x525 74.76 70.06 59.98 800x450 59.95 59.82 720x480 60.00 59.94 640x512 75.02 60.02 720x450 59.89 700x450 59.96 59.88 640x480 60.00 75.00 72.81 75.00 60.00 59.94 720x405 59.51 58.99 720x400 70.08 684x384 59.88 59.85 680x384 59.80 59.96 640x400 59.88 59.98 576x432 75.00 75.00 70.00 60.06 640x360 59.86 59.83 59.84 59.32 512x384 75.03 70.07 60.00 512x288 60.00 59.92 416x312 74.66 480x270 59.63 59.82 400x300 72.19 75.12 60.32 56.34 432x243 59.92 59.57 320x240 72.81 75.00 60.05 360x202 59.51 59.13 320x180 59.84 59.32 eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm 1920x1080 60.02*+ 60.01 59.97 59.96 59.93 1680x1050 59.95 60.02 59.88 1600x1024 60.17 1400x1050 59.98 1600x900 59.99 59.94 59.95 59.82 1280x1024 60.02 60.02 1440x900 60.02 59.89 1400x900 59.96 59.88 1280x960 60.00 1440x810 60.00 59.97 1368x768 59.88 59.85 1360x768 59.80 59.96 1280x800 59.99 60.02 59.97 59.81 59.91 1152x864 60.00 1280x720 60.00 60.02 59.99 59.86 59.74 1024x768 60.02 60.04 60.00 960x720 60.00 928x696 60.05 896x672 60.01 1024x576 59.95 59.96 59.90 59.82 960x600 59.93 60.00 960x540 59.96 59.99 59.63 59.82 800x600 60.02 60.00 60.32 56.25 840x525 60.01 59.88 864x486 59.92 59.57 800x512 60.17 700x525 59.98 800x450 59.95 59.82 640x512 60.02 720x450 59.89 700x450 59.96 59.88 640x480 60.02 60.00 59.94 720x405 59.51 58.99 684x384 59.88 59.85 680x384 59.80 59.96 640x400 59.88 59.98 576x432 60.06 640x360 59.86 59.83 59.84 59.32 512x384 60.00 512x288 60.00 59.92 480x270 59.63 59.82 400x300 60.32 56.34 432x243 59.92 59.57 320x240 60.05 360x202 59.51 59.13 320x180 59.84 59.32 DVI-I-5-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-I-4-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-I-3-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-I-2-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
I have tried "xrandr --output DVI blah blah --auto" and it didn't help at all.

So I'm basically stuck. The monitor will turn on then go into sleep mode and turn back off. Displaylink is its latest version. Everything else works. I just can't get any video output to it.
Can anyone assist me with this? Thank you in advance.
