The specs of your machine is

 

           https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/ish_6297860-6297993-16

 

It ONLY has 1 hopeless USB 3.2 Gen 1.0 Type-C port; 5 Gbps signaling rate (data transfer only; charging or external monitors not supported) port which does NOT support Alt mode nor Power Delivery. You can NOT use it to

  • Charge your machine,
  • Connect to an external monitor with/without hub/dock/adapter

If you wish to connect 2 external monitors (only-total 3), you can use

  • Monitor 1: HDMI direct cable,
  • Monitor 2: Using a Displaylink Certified USB-A to HDMI adapter such as

                                     USB to HDMI Adapter

 

Other option USB-A dock) :   https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05357751

Probably the adapter does NOT have DisplayLink chip.
