Third party thunderbolt adapters for T470s

The ports layout on the t470s look poorly-designed for a right-handed person like me: why did somebody decide to make the display output ports right next to the mouse? Anyway, I've decided to start the major switch to USB-C and already ordered [this buddy](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963612797.html) and I'm sure it will work, at least the power specs look compatible.


But the HDMI cable thickness is a damn pain and I'd like to use an adapter like [this](https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Digital-Multiport-Adapter-Refurbished/dp/B07PK4LX4C) to avoid the $200+ official Lenovo USB-C dock and be able to charge the laptop at the same time. I've already found a similar device [I'm ready to order](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33016351156.html). However, the official Apple adapter worked for HDMI/USB but did not for power when the Apple charger was connected via this dongle. I've read here that Thunderbolt on T470s is poorly implemented, but didn't understand the real cause some devices fail to work.

Does anybody have experience with chinese USB-C adapters/hubs with PD functionality? Any advice on Thunderbolt hubs to connect a display and maybe some other peripherals? Looking forward to relatively cheap solutions, at least without purchasing expensive $100+ original accessories.

Thanks!
