Unfortunately, that setup is not supported by Apple. The iMac cannot be used as a monitor for any of the newest M1 Macs and target display mode is no longer a feature of macOS.

Per the link above:

• Make sure that your target iMac is using macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 or earlier. 

• The source Mac must have been introduced in 2019 or earlier and have macOS Catalina or earlier installed.
