MBP13 + Lenovo TB3 doc only mirrors dual displays

I have a MPB13 connected to a Lenovo TB3 doc (model AC40). MBP is running Catalina and System Information reports DisplayLink version 5.2(54) is installed and Loaded. Dock is connected to MBP using a Toshiba active TB3 cable. Enet, audio, etc all connected via. the dock and appear to be working.

I have two 24" monitors (Samsung LS24H850QFNXZA). Each monitor connected to one of the DisplayPort ports on the dock. HDMI/VGA ports are not connected.

SystemInformation->Graphics/Displays only reports one of the monitors, however both monitors are being driven in mirror mode.

I've read through much of what Google has to say and it seems like this configuration should be supported, although most of the posts don't specify which Lenovo TB3 dock is being used (AC40 vs. gen2, etc).

Any thoughts on how to get my 2 monitors working in extended mode using the 2 DP ports on the dock?

thanks
Mark
