My impression based on the specifications of the dock (
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/acc100348) is that the unit has an internal DisplayPort MST hub inside the unit in order to facilitate the multiple display support (note that 'DisplayPort' is not the same as 'DisplayLink').
DisplayPort MST hubs are not supported in macOS. When such devices are connected to a macOS system, the behavior is that all displays connected to the DisplayPort MST hub will 'mirror' each other, as you describe.
In short, the problem appears to be the internal limitation of macOS.
