So as it's got a graphics card, you can only use the ports off the graphics card and not the motherboard:

So how would I connect more than one monitor I’ve tired using a different cable that connect to the bit I’m suppose to be using but that does not seem to connect to the monitor

As @SpyderTracks has said, you will need to use the ports on the Graphics card, not the motherboard - from this information, it appears that the graphics card has 1 x of each of these ports, therefore you could connect one monitor via HDMI and one via DP
What monitors are you trying to connect?

Your curved monitor should come with a DP port. When you connect to the monitor are you remembering to change the source from HDMI to DisplayPort? (assuming its this one: http://aocmonitorap.com/upload_files/downloads/brochure/20191129-163717-4604.pdf)
Then use your HDMI on the other monitor?
Then use your HDMI on the other monitor?
