AOC monitor mirrors built-in display

Just brought home my new laptop. MacBook Pro with M5. connected to my AOC monitor and it shows the wallpaper but I cannot get it to respond to the mouse or get beyond the wallpaper. Downloaded the latest DisplayLink software but it didn't help.

Solved this by going to system settings, displays and arrange. dragged the displays close together and turned off mirroring
