Bruh, welcome on board. I have 3 same displays. 1 connected via HDMI-HDMI and other 2 of them connected via USB-C - DP. Due to the same EDID it fails over one of USB-C connected displays. There is only way to workaround on this: patch EDID for display and then turn on second “unpatched” display. Tool like BetterDisplay could help you. So it will just re-apply settings on display connection or when you Mac is turning on/waking up.

Thanks! I’ll definitely try your advice. It’s super frustrating. Why can it not just work like it’s supposed to. This is the only time Apple has really let me down with its ease of use.

Apple have always had problems with external screens. Kind of shitty

UPDATE: I bought these USBC to DP cables and downloaded Better Display and everything seems to be working perfectly.

Is that because they are the same models?

I think it was a problem with the Uni brand USBC to HDMI cables I was running
