I tried the apple T3 to T2 Adapter on my Apple 27inch LED Cinema Display (for 
my new Mac Mini last year) and it did not work.

The product page on the Apple website "https://tinyurl.com/y9glzpgn 
<https://tinyurl.com/y9glzpgn>” states:

"Note: This adapter does not support DisplayPort displays like the Apple LED 
Cinema Display or third-party DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort displays. For 
more information, visit the Apple Support page 
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207266> for the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to 
Thunderbolt 2 Adapter."

Here’s another Apple page about the problem. 
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207266 
<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207266> 

In the end I needed to buy a “Thunderbolt 3 Dock” from OWC. Their UK website is 
here https://tinyurl.com/y9qb6mh5 <https://tinyurl.com/y9qb6mh5>  The multitude 
of ports it provides are always useful.

I guess it depends which monitor you have, my plugs are the same as in your 
picture. My 27” LED Cinema Display is wonderful, must be 10 years old, never a 
problem. (I have a new Samsung 4K display beside it)

Good luck.
