Maybe your gaming laptop power requirement exceeds the power delivery capability of the things you've tried to use to charge it?

Even the cable matters, different USB-C cables can carry different amounts of power.

Could also try a can of compressed air in the USB port; maybe there's a bit of dust inhibiting it negotiating the proper connection for full power delivery.
I believe you may have solved my problem. My two hubs are only 90W and 100W. Apparently the power supply that comes with the laptop is 135W so it might be that the hubs are not supplying enough power to charge it. I did not enough think to consider this.
