[SOLVED] Problem, Display recognition is messed up

I got both displays properly working after i installed arch with KDE plasma but once i rebooted it my computer seems to only recognize one display at a time and has the resolution set at 1024 x 768, 60 Hz for either monitor, one monitor is HDMI and the other DisplayPort, again both "work" independently but not together and the computer does not seem to recognize them well. I have tried both plasma X11 and wayland, switching does not work.

Native resolution for both monitors is 1920x1080

xrandr is similar for both displays

[grass@archlinux ~]$ xrandr

Re: [SOLVED] Problem, Display recognition is messed up

It seems that installing steam was the problem, or its Nvidia Vulcan drivers, when i rebooted my pc i prob messed up some process, i just reinstalled arch altogether.
