Your panel doesn't follow the primary monitor setting. The whole *desktop* (and all of its panels) does, but only your first, original one. The idea is that your first (and hence, we assume primary) desktop will follow the primary monitor setting.

In this case it seems that you manually moved your panel to a different desktop. What you probably want to do it undo that by manually moving the panel back to the desktop on the primary screen. Thereafter, that desktop and its panels will follow the primary screen setting.
