Using WD19TBS with MacBook Pro M1 with 2 external monitors?

I am trying to use the docking station with my M1 MacBook pro and am having issues. I can connect, but my 2 external monitors just mirror each other - how do I make them both act as additional screens? I don't want them mirrored

    The WD19TBS was never offered with any macOS drivers or macOS support. You should post the issue on the Apple Forum to get assistance from Apple users.

    If it's an M1 CPU (not the M1 Pro), you're limited by the Mac to a single external display, regardless of the docking station.  The M1 Pro CPU supports two.

    The limited number of external displays supported is/was one of the tradeoffs in the change from Intel to Apple silicon.

    It is an M1 Pro - the first edition Apple released of the MacBook Pro with M1. How do I get the 2 external displays to work?
