Problems with external monitor control and simultaneous charging of the laptop.

I have a MacBook Air (latest Intel before moving to Apple Silicon). My MacBook Air has two USB-C parts and this dock connects to both at the same time. Only one of the dock's two USB-C ports works with my external monitor when using a USB-C to HDMI cable. . Unfortunately, this port was the only one through which power flowed to charge my laptop. So I couldn't use my external monitor and charge my laptop at the same time. I tried the HDMI port as a workaround, but found it unreliable as my external monitor turns on and off randomly, usually when I open something in full screen. mode, even my email program or web browser. I replaced it with a Belkin docking station that only plugs into one of my two USB-C ports, leaving the other port free to charge my laptop. Belkin was more than twice the price, but it solved my problem.
