so a little help please
i want one thing in one and another in the other haha, and the laptop i used like a desktop so i dont use that screen 

That's not how it works. If you want two monitors with different outputs, you need two physical outputs from the laptop or a usb-c docking station that creates that. You can also connect a USB-C DP monitor that has a DP output port to link to a second DP monitor as another option. Check your laptop, you might actually have two video outputs already in some configuration.

Not all USB-Cs support DP output and it looks like the one on the nitro 5 doesn't, so that laptop only supports one external display.

You need USB-C (USB 3.1) that supports Displayport alternate mode in order for the monitors to support DP1.2 MST
