Second dislay not being detected and first monitor stuck on 1024 x 768

I've been using Arch for a few months now. I was messing around with hyprland and decided I want to go back to KDE plasma.
I decided to uninstall hyperland. Once doing that I restarted my computer and booted in. To which i found my second monitor
no longer is dected in settings and my first monitor is stuck at 1024 x 768 and 60fps. My task bar was also seeming still on my other monitor so I couldn't open anything or do anything with ease. So I decided to do a fresh install of Arch. Which fixed it. For about 1 log in. Now i'm back here at least everything is on one monitor and the computers "uaseable". As far as i can tell my nvidia drivers and
Arch are all up to date.
I've been using mint for a while but am no means a power user. I switched to Arch to try and get some better gaming support and try and learn a bit more about linux so any help would be great thanks

You're most likely running on the simpledrm device, please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

The 580xx drivers seem to lag on init, try to delay the start of the display server (only boot the multi-user.target, 2nd link below, get a cup of coffee, then explicitly start the graphical.target to see whether that's your problem)
