I'm developing a game with Unity and for some reason I'm not able to import a correct a VR package and enable two screens (Both eyes) in the game view.

For now, I will be using Unity Remote and display it. Since, I'm not able to do this the right way, I want to split my screen instead atleast to give illusion.

TLDR;

Android App that will split my screen for VR

You can split your screen in Unity by adding a second camera and setting the rectangle for each. You will obviously want to position the 2 cameras the correct distance apart for vr.

There are plenty of search results "unity split screen" if you want more detailed info. Eg: https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-make-a-split-screen-2-cameras-rendering-at-same-time/307

Also, have you tried Unity's open xr package? I've read that you can use Google daydream as a PC vr headset if the daydream packages aren't working for you https://www.xda-developers.com/vridge-2-2-google-daydream-steamvr/

VRidge works great for me, I recommend it, but it presents to software as a standard SteamVR headset, so I don't know if that addresses OP's problem. Also, it's a paid product if you want to use it for more than a few minutes at a time.
