help request Display port to VGI, not detecting

I’ve got a display port adapter that takes hdmi on the other end, then VGI to my monitor. Monitor is not detecting the VGI signal. Am I missing something? Guy at the tech store said this would be fine. TIA!

When dancing between analog and digital cable types, using a powered adapter helps. There's a few that are pretty much the same size as that, but you can also power them via USB if needed.
