Sticky key icons staying in top left even after changing the area for display

Hello! I recently updated my 2024 M3 Macbook Air to macOS Tahoe, and the first weird thing I noticed was that my sticky key icons were so far to the right that they were getting cut off by the edge of the screen. I fixed that by turning sticky keys off and then back on, but then they moved to the top left corner, when I had always had them in the top right. I think that was just the default, because I never set it that way. Anyway, I went back into settings to change the location back to the right side, but they won't move from the top left. I go to accessibility -> keyboard -> sticky keys "info" -> screen area for display. I've changed it to every position with no change. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out a solution?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 26.0

If shutting down and restarting does not resolve the issue

>Shut Down
