[SOLVED] Second Monitor not working after installing nvidia drivers

My second monitor gets recognized but displays nothing, in plasma display settings it's enabled and i can move it around, but it displays nothing, and i can drag stuff to the other screen, in nvidia-settings it's also detected and setup but still shows nothing, when the pc is booting, grub shows up in that screen, when sddm loads, it's showing anything anymore (goes into power saving mode)

I have read through every thread i could and tried everything but still nothing.

using a GTX 1050Ti
I have configured the nvidia_drm module

heres is my xrandr output, system info and xorg logs: https://pastebin.com/r2CjpBbL

07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Device 8c96
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Downgrade away from 555xx, eg. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-535xx-dkms
There're several reports like this for the 555xx driver
