Do you have Pinephone or Pinephone Pro? That videos is about Pinephone Pro.
AFAIK most (aka. I have tried like 15 different hubs and maybe one did not work) hubs will work with both PP and PPP.
With some hubs you need to try USB-C in both ways and it might not work with "upside down".
Of course you might have three not working hubs but thats bad luck
Pinephone and external display is not great experience if you actually need to do something - more like a proof of concept imo.
I think it still should work out of the box as long as you have reasonable new OS flashed to PP (arch, manjaro, mobian, pmos - should work)
It might also help to turn modem off while using external display - at least I have annoying screen flickering with modem on (and especially when modem is on and using 4G)
With PPP external display etc. is really cool and I can compare it easily to old cheap laptop.
