iMac as a second display

How do I get my late 2012 iMac to work as a second monitor, when it's running os 10.15.7 Catalina, and my 2019 macbook pro is running big sur? I've purchased both the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter and the Thunderbolt Cable. I've restarted, tried detecting for other displays and nothing seems to work.

See this page: Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support


The target Mac has to be running High Sierra or earlier.
