I have the AOC i1601fwux (https://eu.aoc.com/en/products/monitors/i1601fwux/specification) and the LG 32". Ergo (https://www.lg.com/pt/monitores/lg-32un880-b).
They both connect through USB-C and work fine if only one of them is connected. Never work with both at the same time.

I downloaded the displaylink manager, but it doesn't recognize any of the monitors when they are plugged in.

Do you know if there is a possibility to have these 2 working at the same time, and how should I do it?

The monitors you are using do not have DisplayLink technology inside of them, so DisplayLink will not be able to assist you.

An Apple Mac with an Apple M1 processor supports a maximum of one external display. It will not be possible to connect both your displays to your Mac and have both of them function.

Thanks for your reply!

Do you know of a displaylink dock that has USB-C video out that I can use?

I personally am not aware of a DisplayLink-based product that has two USB Type-C video output ports.

To the best of my knowledge, the most complete resource for finding DisplayLink-based products is here --> https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/displaylink-products
