Applications do not open on the main monitor

Hello! I have two monitors that work as an extension of the workspace (the system specifically xrandr thinks that this is one large display):

   640x350       59.77

For this reason, some applications do not open on the main monitor (especially certain games from Steam). If I swap them, then everything always opens on the main monitor, but then it becomes not very convenient to work. Is there an option to fix this programmatically?
I use Latest KDE with Wayland

Re: Applications do not open on the main monitor

I use Latest KDE with Wayland

Use a kwin rule to place windows, though since clients have no desktop geometry control on wayland I assume that only xwayland clients are affected anyway?
