Gnome can't change refresh rate for resolutions used by tigervnc

Hey, I am using gnome on wayland, and I enabled tigervnc for a bit on display :3 with systemd.
In ~/.vnc/config, I added a geometry= line to set the vnc session geometry.

I had two different options in there, originally 1280x960, then later 3440x1440.

I've stopped using tigervnc (it's uninstalled, ~/.vnc is deleted, etc.).

The problem is, it's overwritten something to do with the monitor resolutions in the gnome settings app under Displays. I have 1280x960 as an option now, but with no "refresh rate" option if I choose it (it just defaults to 60ish). 3440x1440 (my monitor's native resolution) is also missing the "refresh rate" option. Setting to it puts the monitor at 49ish Hz, which then causes the monitor to glitch and lose connection every now and then. I've had to set to 2560x1080 temporarily to use the computer.

I can't work out where gnome is finding these apparently custom resolutions. I've completely reset gnome-session using dconf. I've deleted ~/.config/dconf/user as well. I've searched the contents of everything in /etc /home/[me] and nothing has "3440" in it. I'm stumped.

I could just completely wipe and start again, not a big issue. But the frustration is not knowing where these settings are stored and how to clear them. Everything I can find always references xrandr but I thought that doesn't work with wayland. No idea where else to look and it's so frustrating.
