How to connect a monitor with MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

I have 2 dell monitors and would like to use them with my MacBook. I have the USB-C to display port cable. I was able to link it to 1 monitor but it only mirrors. I would like it to work independently. Is this the wrong cable? And what would I need to connect 2? Or is this possible? Thank you!

Set up the displays as an extended desktop

You can arrange your displays in any configuration to create an extended desktop. For example, you can set your external display side by side with your Mac to create one large continuous desktop.

Note: You must be connected to a display to see these options.

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Displays , then click Display Settings.
  2. Click the name of your display, then choose Extend Display from the pop-up menu.
