Games always open on secondary monitor. Any way to force them to open on the primary monitor?

question
Hello Bazzite community, I'm new to this distro, been testing it for a week on my laptop and so far it's going great.

My specs:
Operating System: Bazzite 43 KDE Desktop NVIDIA edition
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
Kernel Version: 6.17.7-ba22.fc43.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 4600H with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 16 GB of RAM (15.0 GB usable)
Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon Graphics
Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti
Manufacturer: HP
Product Name: HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec1xxx
Monitor setup: Second monitor on the left


The issue:
When I open a game in full screen, it always opens on the secondary monitor. Normally it wouldn't be a problem I would just Meta+Shift+Right, but games like Portal 2 screw up the aspect ratio when I move them. Is there any way to force apps to start on the primary monitor instead of the secondary monitor?
