should i be able to see m42 with my scope

hi as mentionde before this is my cheap scope https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...342890122.html it has 20mm,12mm,4mm eyepieces and 2x barlow. the other night i went looking for m42 with no sucess but there was some cloud cover you could see orion belt and bettlejuice with the naked eye but conditions where not perfect and after about 30min of scanning around looking for m42 with 20mm and 12mm eyepieces i gave up although i could see lots of stars that could not be seen with the naked eye my question is should i be able to view the orian nebula with this equipment if conditions where better? thanks
