Desktop Icons moving to Secondary Monitor

Hello Everyone,
Recently my machine upgraded to 43.20251126 and 43.20251127 and in both versions when I reboot the desktop icons show up on my secondary monitor, even if I had moved them back to the primary from the get go. I can confirm that it doesn't happen in 43.20251118, where it loads the icons on the primary monitor as expected.
On the newer versions I can see that my main monitor is still defined as primary.
I have tried to reset my desktop configurations in KDE and it didn't fix the issue, eventhough it resetted my wallpaper and taskbar.
I am new in Linux, so apologies if this isn't the most out of the box better worded question.

Problem on the second monitor
Well… 6.5.3 fixed that problem, but now any icons on my primary monitor will move to my secondary monitor on restart. Tried locking the icons and deleting everything related to KDE from .cache. It’s doing it on both Fedora and CachyOS. CachyOS was a clean install so I’m assuming the problem isn’t related to any changes I made.
