Steam games opening on secondary monitor

I am running two monitors and have one set as my primary in the desktop configuration screen in system settings. I am running in DX11 as I have a Nvidia 4080 card and running the games natively (from what I understand). I am not sure why or how to fix the issue of steam games opening on my secondary monitor instead of my primary as I would think it should. The games load 100% faster (I swear) than Win11 so I am already very happy with Bazzite, just want them to open on the correct screen. Thanks!
Solution:
longstanding X11 issue, this should be fixed when Wayland works on Nvidia

which is a couple weeks away, give or take I assume your secondary monitor is on the left?

Wow, that is great news! Yes my monitor is situated to the left of my main monitor.

yup, x11 thinks the left most monitor is the primary at all times you can swap their orientation in display settings as a temp fix

I’ll give that a shot and be patient for the Wayland and Nvidia update. Thanks for your help!
