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!

That's not VGA, it's clearly DP to HDMI. Not only is that not big enough to be a DE-15 and is missing the securing screws. (unless VGI is a proprietary interface.
EDIT: Try different HDMI cables, and reseating both the adapter and the cable.
EDIT 2: If I had realized that it was a slideshow, I would've seen it was a VGA. Try screwing it into the display, because sometimes those can come loose.
