Using VR headset on ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (Q533)

Is it possible to use VR headset on ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (Q533)? This laptop doesn't have DisplayPort I was trying to use usb-c to displayport adapter. That didn't work as it appears that both usb-c and thunderbolt ports are not connected to the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 6GB Laptop GPU. Should I get a different laptop or there's a way to make it work?
Thanks!

Could you please provide the complete model number of the laptop you are using?

I would recommend first confirming the model of your laptop so that I can verify its specifications.
Thank you.

Thanks for the response! Absolutely, here it is:
System Model: ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 N6506MJ_Q533MJ
BIOS: N6506MJ.308

Upon checking, your laptop's Type-C and Thunderbolt ports both support video output.
Could you please verify if your external device can be connected directly to the laptop without using an adapter? This will help determine if the issue lies with the adapter. If direct connection does not work either, we recommend checking whether the external device can function properly with other computer equipment.

If you have recently purchased the laptop and have any concerns about its usage, we also recommend contacting the dealer to check if a return or exchange is possible. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

While both ports support video output, it appears that they are connected to Intel(R) Arc(TM) Graphics but not to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 GPU.
Valve Index VR Headset can not be connected directly to the laptop as the laptop doesn't have display port.
The adapter (https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-CableCreation-Display-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B085HF9GSR/ref=sr_1_1_ssp...) doesn't seem like an issue as other people were using and suggesting it for this case.
This VR headsed does work on workstation.
Any chance you know if there's a way to route USB-C ports to Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 GPU  ?
Thanks
