The problem here is that if you try to connect using thunar or other file manager the phone is only in basic USB charging mode.
In order to enable file transfer you have to be able to tell the phone to allow MTP or PTP or file transfer (wording varies from phone to phone but that's the general principle)
This is required as a basic security feature to stop anyone just accessing files on a phone.
If you cannot interact with the phone via the screen then you'll not be able to enable USB Debug to allow connection via adb.
It may well be screen replacement is the only option.
