If your MacBook Air is running macOS 14.6 (Sonoma), that suggests that it is a relatively recent model which has USB-C ports. But you haven't really provided enough information for anyone to help you.

You need to provide some more details, such as

Which MacBook Air you have
Which monitor you are trying to connect
How you are trying to connect it (cables, adapters, hubs, docks)
Whether you are using any other monitors any other monitors
