Dual Monitor setup help needed

One screen works the other one doesn't. I'm running GNOME is there a way to use xorg instead? The monitor works fine it's identical to the other Hey I am not too familiar with Wayland and Dual Screens, I own 2 27" Sceptre Curved Displays and 1 is working, other one no signal. gnome-randr only shows 1 screen.
lspci -v shows my intel graphics which has 2 DisplayPorts on my motherboard.

That's why there's rule #1: it's the cable

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
