The Lenovo dock you as using has a DisplayPort MST hub inside of it that drives the two displays. Mac systems do NOT support DisplayPort MST, which is why the Mac only recognizes the presence of a single display and why both displays are mirror images of each other.

Windows systems support DisplayPort MST, which is why the dock works as expected with your Lenovo laptop.

There is no workaround for the behavior while using the Lenovo docking station you currently have.

You will have to use a different product in order to drive two displays with your Mac.

While I cannot make any specific recommendations, DisplayLink has a list of products that use their technology here --> https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...ylink-products
