Weird glitches after installing x11

I am currently using KDE Plasma 6.5 and Intel GPU (I`m on laptop and have all Intel GPU drivers) and since installing KDE on my Arch Linux "machine", I`ve been using Wayland, but today I needed to use X11 (Xorg session). so I installed --needed xorg plasma-x11-session, rebooted and changed to X11 in SDDM menu. But when I log on I saw that all UI is glitching monitor setting were set to default with little "scale resolution" and programs like system settings or even app menu applet are unusable and not working properly; any button is not clickable, interface slips in different directions. And the worst part is when I`ve managed to re-login onto Wayland i started to see same troubles. Have anyone witnessed same problems?

and have all Intel GPU drivers

Does that include xf86-video-intel? Remove that. Then, if the problems remain, please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
