Are you using X11 or Wayland? If your primary monitor the left-most one, or a different one?

I'm using X11

I swapped my monitors some time ago so my primary monitor is on the right and it still keeps going to my left monitor so I know it has nothing to do with which monitor is the primary one.

Now that I think of it, it might be because of which port I have my monitor plugged in to or what type of monitor it is.
