sddm login manager not focused on active monitor... help...

So, I am using Thinkpad t460 on docking station, closed because I have external 27" monitor. In KDE PLasma (wayland) everything is setup the way I need.... so, external monitor is active, and laptop screen is not because is closed. When I need laptop screen, I just open it...

I have problem with sddm. Every time I start laptop, I see sddm on external monitor, but I need to click it on anywhere on screen to focuse to that screen and than to type password for my user. Is there way to setup focus to active screen but without brakeing something when laptop is used without dock and external monitor? Does sddm still uses Xorg? Is this valid tutorial:

I used the mentioned howto a few weeks ago - it worked perfectly and solved exactly the same problem for me.
