Thanks for the advice. I did contact support and this was their reply:
We appreciate your support and interest in our products and are sorry for replying late due to the labor holiday. Sorry that we would not recommend using any cable extender, but if you’d like to get one longer cable that could work with Anker 364 USB C Hub (10-in-1, Dual 4K HDMI) , you may consider Anker Powerline II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable (3ft)

I actually bought another 3ft USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cable from a 3rd party. It worked like a charm.
The extra 1.5 feet of laptop to hub length gives me a lot more flexibility on my limited desktop space!
Thanks again!
