i cant seem to swap monitor one and 2

so i may just be stupid, but i have looked over many forums trying to figure this out, i have a 2 monitor desktop setup, both are the exact same monitor, both connected through DP, but when i move my cursor between the two, i move it in the opposite direction and it goes onto my other monitor.
i move my mouse left and it goes onto the right monitor..? i dont know how to fix this issue. any help is appreciated

Re: i cant seem to swap monitor one and 2

with KDE this as simple as open the settings, navigate to the screens section and move them around by drag'n'drop - gnome offers similar - and I guess most other DEs do as well
