Hey everybody, just posting here to see if anyone else has run into this issue?

I work for a marketing company where we all of macbook pros that are 2015 or newer (some with and without the touchbars) - and there are a handful (4-5 macs) that when you plug up external monitors to the external dock for extra plugs (https://www.amazon.com/LENTION-Mult...bolt/dp/B074KGFQPN?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1) the monitors will flicker and turn off and on to the point they are unusable (have tried multiple monitors of different brands and its only issues on some of the laptops but not all of them.

No flickering here...try a different brand of adapter
We have tried multiple - It is just weird because it is ones that were bought around the same time that are doing it, so wondering if it was something wrong with the batch that they could have been made with.
