[SOLVED]kde plasma System Tray message malposition

The information displayed in the "system tray" of the kde widget is misplaced. It was originally displayed in the lower right corner of the desktop. Now it is centered and located in the middle of the desktop. It looks uncomfortable, so is there any way to change it?

As my picture shows, originally it should appear in the lower right corner, but now it has changed, I don't know where the problem is, can anyone help me?

If it's notifications, then the position can be chosen in systemsettings/notifications.

It's not a notification and I don't know how to describe it

Re: [SOLVED]kde plasma System Tray message malposition

Those are applets of the tray. I've seen something similar with multiple monitors if they aren't properly aligned on wayland, do you have multiple monitors? Is this a xorg or a wayland session? What's your output for

xrandr -q
printenv | grep QT

do/did you experiment with some DPI/HighDPI options recently? Post these outputs in code tags

Re: [SOLVED]kde plasma System Tray message malposition

and if you drop those variables/reduce the screen scaling does the issue disappear?

Re: [SOLVED]kde plasma System Tray message malposition

I've tried reducing the screen scaling, the problem is not solved, what do you mean by "remove those variables", I can't understand

I can't understand, there was still a problem yesterday, but after upgrading the system kernel today, it's back to normal, it's really strange
