Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

Sorry, no. You cannot for the following reasons:

24-inch iMac computers were never supported with Target Display Mode.
Only certain 2009-2014 iMac computers were ever supported by Target Display Mode.
Target Display Mode is not supported with Apple Silicon.
Target Display Mode is not supported with macOS Big Sur.
