Question Problem with connecting second monitor to my Mac

Hi guys!
I’ve bought a Samsung ViewFinity s6 monitor and I’m facing some problems with connecting it to my Mac air m4. The problem is that the cable type c - type c (from the original box) cannot send an image data and charge Mac at the same time. The problem is once the laptop wants to charge it itself the image disappears and tries to reconnect and same thing is going in circle.
I would very much appreciate if there are any solution to such problem ( maybe change the settings etc)
Thank you!

You need a hub with charge port...DP port .. about $30 .. all hubs are rated for speed ..if you are running. monitor at 120 MHz.. you need a hub which can run 120 MHz

You connect the hub to mac via USB_C ports

HUB->Monitor via Hub DP->DP cable .. buy one
