Hi,

First of all, as Target Display mode document says, if your iMac is Latina Display, you can't use it as external monitor of MacBook Pro.

You need to get USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable.

For more info., read Target Display Mode document.

Use your iMac as a Display.
