(Solved) External monitor does not stay primary

So I have a Dell laptop - connected to a UHD monitor.  In the "Display Configuration" (I'm using Plasma 5.24.4) I have my UHD selected as "primary" and "enabled"  - the laptop has both options deselected.  So this configuration has worked from day 1 - when I first installed Arch months ago  - but the last few days - after I reboot/shutdown or logout - it goes to the laptop being primary - with the UHD as a secondary monitor.   I can go into the "Display Configuration" - change everything back to making the UHD primary - apply - save the settings - everything is back to normal - but after a shutdown/reboot/logout - it right back to the laptop as primary.    One bit of info - after rebooting - and coming back up with the laptop screen as primary again - I can unplug my UHD display port cable - reconnect - and I'm back to normal - UHD as primary - laptop screen disabled.   Its a quick fix but was hopeful that someone might be able to provide some clues on where I might go for a permanent fix.  I browsed briefly thru KDE support forums but did not see anything.  I was going to post my first question there but so far I have issues logging onto their website for some reason...

EDIT:  Not REALLY solved - I still have this issue under X11 - but since I converted from Plasma-X11 to Plasma-Wayland this issue went away...
