Let me throw a few ideas out:
sudo airmon-ng check kill
Over the last few years I have noticed that using airmon-ng check kill is often less than effective. In fact, I wrote a script to replace it. My script does not kill, it pauses threads that may cause problems. The issues with killing is that some of the problematic processes are programmed these days to detect when they are going down and they start a new process effectively defeating any attempt to kill. Pausing the processes does not seem to trigger a new process.
Go to the Main Menu:

Menu item 10 is what you want.
I couldn't change the txpower value of Comfast CF-953AX. It is always 3.00 dBm.
I have not seen a new adapter come on the market for a long time where we could set txpower.
3 dBm does not appear to be what we think it should be but consider it cosmetic as the actually results tell us it can't be 3 dBm.
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
The script I mentioned above will also put the interface into monitor mode.
Downloaded and installed these MediaTek drivers as advised...
Those are the firmware files. The driver comes with the kernel. You only need to install the firmware files if the maintainer of the distros has not installed them or if they are an old version.
See if you can make some progress with the info above.

Problems
The device sometimes stops working (detecting APs) – need to re-plug it in USB port.
CF-953AX in monitor control mode works correctly, but any attempt to capture handshakes by wifite2 on any WiFi point (with WPS or not) is very slow and always ends up with
Failedstatus. When cracking WPS I only get fails and a large amount of timeouts (sometimes over 1500). This is true when wardriving any AP with any wifite call options. Often thewifitegets stuck at some stage, for example, when sending a PIN codes; all kinds of attacks are ineffective.INFO
