I'm currently downloading the most recent software update on my Mac to see if that helps in any way. I have gone into Mac display settings and held the option key down to reveal the 'Detect Displays' button and it still would not pick the switch/monitor up. Afterall, that's what I thought the USB-C input was trying to alleviate having to do. Enjoy great service, Free 2 Hour Click & Collect and buy with Afterpay and Zip in store or online. I unfortunately don't have a USB-C > HDMI cord to try to connect it to an HDMI port on the switch. Shop high quality HDMI Cable Adapters at everyday low prices. I'm starting to wonder if Apple does not support such a product even though it is advertised by Rocketfish that they are compatible.
I have since tried to connect my iPhone 12 Pro with no luck either. I have successfully connected my PS4 to the switch and it operates as normal. Macbooks do not support this, which is why youre having issues. Via the specs for the rocketfish switch with USB-C (NS-HZ335), it mentions that it supports video over USB-C using Displayport Alt mode. It can only transmit from mini DisplayPort to HDMI because it is not bidirectional. Thunderbolt to VGA is throwing money to waste because you would never maximise the signal bandwidth of thunderbolt using VGA. VGA would not support high resolutions anyway. When connecting my 2015 Mackbook Pro to the switch, I receive power to the Mac, but it will not provide picture to my Samsung 27" monitor.

Please make sure whether your device is compatible with the adapter before purchasing it.It is not compatible with MacBook Pro released after 2016. They are available and will be cheaper or even a mini dp to vga should work. I recently purchased the Rocketfish HDMI Switch w/ the USB-C option.
