Default 2017 - Rear Entertainment - HDMI Question

I have a 2017 with a rear entertainment system.
Kids want to connect their Samsung phone (android) to the rear entertainment system via HDMI.
Bought a USB-C to HDMI cable and connected it to phone, changed the input on the rear entertainment system to HDMI but nothing on the screen.

Is there a specific HDMI cable that I should be using? or is there anything I am missing?
On youtube I have seen people connecting their iPhone via a lightening cable but didn't find anything for android.

TIA

I connect my kids Nintendo switch to our ‘17 with no issues. I believe switch us usb-c. The rear interface is a little hard to maneuver sometimes. The difference between L/R and input/source can be confusing.
