Using 2 external monitors with Adobe Premiere on a MacBook

I have a new Apple M4Pro MacBook Laptop and I am trying to connect 2 external ASUS PA279CRV Monitors to use with Adobe Premiere 2026.   

Using 1 external monitor and the laptop screen works perfectly.  The problem arises when I try to use 2 external monitors.  When I have the second monitor running, Premiere crashes when I try to open it up.  I am usually able to get the project up, but then it pinwheels and crashes.   Everything else with the 2nd monitor appears to be fine until I open Premiere.

The first monitor is connected via the HDMI port on the laptop.  The 2nd monitor is connected thru a USB-C port via a USB-C->HDMI adapter.

I’m not sure if this is a MAC setting or a Premiere setting, or if this is even possible at all. 

Thanks
