At the command line type: xrandr -q

Above is example of a 4K screen that is working. Like yourself a custom dongle converting ThunderBolt 3 to HDMI is used. Consequently a custom refresh rate of 54 Hz had to be setup.

Start off by putting your own xrandr -q output into your question. Then everyone can help you fine-tune your setup from there.
