Mac Studio Multiple Display Issue

I have a two-monitor setup. When the unit is locked, upon reentry, the displays have flipped sides and the mouse movement is reversed. Issue is solved restarting the unit, but obviously, is there something I can do to keep this from happening when I am simply locking the unit.

I solved it. Here's the solution.


The two monitors that I have are both HDMI only monitors. So, I purchased a HDMI to USB-c adapter for the second unit. The problem, though, is that the Mac Studio will always default back to the HDMI unit that is directly plugged into the unit.


When I swapped out both cables for a HDMI to USB-c connection, then my displays were able to be set to my specific preference and did not change once I locked the unit.
