Hi, I’m confused. There is a Mini Display port that doubles as a Thunderbolt port on the right side of the 2017 MacBook Air, so there should be no adaptor required. On the right side of this model of MacBook Air, there is the SD Card slot, a third USB A port and the Mini Display/Thunderbolt port. I have seen situations where that port fails with some displays, but if all is in working order, then this port will work for you without any adaptor required.
