Bazzite (KDE Plasma) multi-monitor setup, games don't show on the right monitor

Apologies if this question has been asked before, but I did a relatively quick scroll and didn't see anything about it. Anyway, I'm new to Bazzite, and Linux as a whole. I barely have any experience with it, but so far I'm doing alright, I got my system set up okay and stuff. But I am having an issue with games and which monitor they start on. I have two monitors, one directly in front of me that I play games on, and one to my left for stuff like Discord and Firefox and the like. But for some reason, whenever I load any games, they always, without fail, start on the left, secondary monitor. It seems to ignore all system display settings (main screen is set as primary, they still open on the second screen), and they even ignore their own in-game settings. Been testing this with Factorio in particular (though it is every game, I just chose Factorio for now), and I can set the settings in game and have it properly switch to the correct monitor, but upon rebooting, it will ignore that setting and open on my other monitor, even though the setting is still set to use the primary monitor. From what I was able to find online, this seems to be a KDE Plasma thing, where fullscreen apps will always open on the top left monitor, , regardless of settings. Idk if that's true anymore, the post was pretty old now, but as I can't swap my monitors around or anything like that, this is extremely annoying. Is there anything I can do to make games open on my main monitor again?

(I have labeled this as a "bug" but question and hardware-compat may also be valid tags. Bug just seemed most appropriate because this feels like it shouldn't happen lol)
