Screenshot of the affected plasmoid

SUMMARY
Issue introduced in Plasma 6. When creating a System Monitor plasmoid with the Process Table display style, a button asking you to configure the plasmoid is permanently displayed on top. What likely happens is this type of monitor doesn't contain any sensors, but the monitor plasmoid is designed to suggest configuring if no sensors were added... exceptions should be made for modes without sensors such as Process Table and Application Table.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Add a System Monitor widget and set its display style to Process Table then save.

OBSERVED RESULT
A button with the label Configure is permanently displayed on top although the widget is configured.

I had this same issue, I was messing with it and figured out that you could make the configure button disappear by assigning it a sensor before you set it to be a process monitor. 

When you first create the widget, exit edit mode, then right click the widget and select "Configure System Monitor Sensor..."
Then, go to "Sensor Details"
Under the "Sensors" section just add something, I chose CPU% for all cpus.
Then, go back to Appearance and under the dropdown where it says "Pie Chart", change it to "Process Table"
Hit "Apply" then go check the sensor section to make sure it is still present.
As long as it's still there, when you hit "Ok" to close the prompt, next time you boot the configure button shouldn't be there.
Its worked for me for a few weeks now.

Hope this helps!

TLDR:
Configure Widget > Sensor Details > Add a sensor under "Sensors" > "Apply" > Appearance > Select "Process Table" > "Apply" > Double check sensor is under Sensor Details > "OK"
