Widgets disappeared and now they will not place on the left side of my desktop on my Macbook.

I used to have widgets on the left side of my Macbook desktop because that was the most convenient location so I could use the rest of the desktop space for other apps and organizing my files. One day, all my widgets randomly disappeared and when I went to put them back I could only place them in the center of the screen. This leaves a very awkward space on the left side of my screen and doesn't look visually appealing. Does anybody know how to fix this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 14.6
