2nd monitor wont detect via dvi on Rx580 gpu?

hi

i just got a RX580 gpu and it works great and my main display is via HDMI but when i connect my 2nd display up it wont detect. always had it VGA to DVI into gpu, but gpu this time was DVI-D so i got a small adapter

DVI-I/DVI-D adaptor DVI-I female 24+5 pin to DVI-D male 24+1 pin

and it still wont detect even tried putting a displayport adapter on the DVI lead from monitor and even that wont detect.

i would very much be grateful if anyone knows what im doing wrong please?

thanks

i got an adapter to work and my 2nd monitor is finally working but i need to buy another vga to vga lead as i had to link 2 vga leads because the other wasnt long enough and that might be whats causing this strange slight ghostly effect trail on text and icons if you can see in the pic
