Sounds they are NOT compatible. Your machine has 2 USB-C ports, on its right it has
HP indicates : port #6: Connects a USB device, provides high-speed data transfer, and charges small devices, even when the computer is off.

Connects a display device that has a USB Type-C connector, providing DisplayPort output. NOTE:The computer might also support a Thunderbolt docking station.
But HP does not say which one

Thanks for the reply, Specs are below, it should definitely be compatible with a docking station, as it has a thunderbolt 3 output, there's no clear reason as to why the dock doesn't work, I'm not expecting it to charge the laptop, just connect to the screens.
