Cannot Get My Quest 2 to Link to My Asus ROG Strix G15 Laptop

I just bought this Quest used and I've spent a whole 3 hours trying to get this to work but I just can't. I've been having a weird string of issues. It will not connect via link cable (though I don't have an actual link cable but just a regular 10 ft type c to type c cable, so that could be my issue on that part) though when I plugged it into my computer, I accidentally clicked "import images" when the command pops up, so now whenever I try to plug it in, it immediately opens up the pictures app on my laptop.

Then, I got airlink to work once, but it was extremely bugged and I had to restart my oculus because it ended up freezing, and it wouldn't connect again. Then I got a red pop up in the desktop app that said my PCs hardware was incompatible, but I know for a fact it was because I checked the compatibility page, so I closed the app and reopened it and that pop up was gone.

I am honestly stumped at this point,

My Quest 2 is updated to the newest software, and my laptop is fully updated, all drivers are updated as far as I'm aware, I went through what I thought the culprits could be.

My laptop specs are:

Intel core i7

16 GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 (I know 2050 is incompatible, but it didn't say anything about 2060 being incompatible)

Currently running Windows 11

If anyone has some explanations, please let me know, I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong!
