Of you go into the thunderbolt control, have you approved the monitor?
Most of the issues with thunderbolt on Linux for me have been the insane/annoying approval process.
I can’t use gnome for example because the gnome login manager uses separate permissions so I can’t approve the display before logging in. (No idea if they fixed this).
On plasma there is a menu for this, but you may have to go into terminal or ssh into the machine, or use hdmi to enable your display then move your computer back to it.

Isn’t thunderbolt different than displayport? According to the internet (again, no clue what I’m doing here), Fedora should auto detect and use displayport devices without needing intervention. ‘xrandr’ recognizes my GPU’s outputs correctly (1 HDMI, 3 DP), but erroneously states all displayports are disconnected.
