Which Framework Laptop 16 model are you using? (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series)

64GB RAM (Corsair out of the top of my head?)
2TB Sandisk Corp WD Black SN770
At the office, we have several USB-C docks and several Framework laptops. Some people do use the framework 13 intel edition (13th gen) and they can just sit anywhere, plug in a single USB-C cable from the dock and use screens + charge their laptop at the same time.
However, the AMD ones won’t charge via PD using the dock. I’m using the correct ports on the 16 (port 1 / port 4 and on the AMD 13 it will be port 1 / port 3) and if I connect the charger directly it will charge without issues on both ports.
There is however a single model that will charge the laptop: namely the Dell WD22TB4 Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station, however using the cheaper ones (such as HyperDrive units) it won’t do screen + charging at the same time.
Is this normal, a limitation of the AMD chipset maybe or perhaps something that will be fixed in a future BIOS release? I know there are two standard of USB-C hubs but I don’t know the inner workings of this, maybe it is due to this? I did search about this on the forums but haven’t been able to find much more information on the topic.
Any information on this will be appreciated.
