What he means is that these multi-device chargers can’t supply the power they say to everything all at once. Additionally, many of them have specific ports that supply different wattages when more than one port is used, and some even have ports that just don’t supply as much power as others.
Yours specifically has these quirks, as you can see here. So ensure you’re always using the port farthest away from the USB-A connector when charging your steam deck.
The cable from your main post is probably fine - cheapest, shitty cables won’t have e-marker chips (yours says it has one).
The issue is most likely with the port on the charger, like the other guy said. You should test all type-C ports, because sometimes the manufacturer lies and only one of them actually provides full power.
That cable is rated properly for your use, though the one from your OP is also properly rated, and very broadly the stuff you get from Amazon from a reputable brand is going to be fine. The dock is probably fine, as well.
The monitor shouldn’t affect anything regarding charging, as long as you pay attention to the ports you use, as detailed in my other comment.
