Not every motherboard BIOS allows to use both iGPU and dGPU to be used at the
same
time, or if they do, special software installation and/or configuration may be
required. First check in BIOS to ensure you don't find a setting engaged that
disallows your desire.
It may be all that's required is using xrandr, or a GUI tool that employs it
(e.g.
arandr), to appropriately locate and orient the errant display, e.g.:
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --right-of DP-1 --rotate normal
