GPU in the unit:
AMD Radeon Pro W5500

For me thunderbolt is working, I don't have an eGPU for testings, so at this point I can't provide any solutions

it was able to detect the card if I boot with it plugged in but not after boot. but it's not working after boot, it seems like it turns off the card after boot. any idea?

You have to patch and enable thunderbolt 3 on xps 9500. This efi just help you enable transfer data like usb hub, lan port, and external screen
