Dual Monitor blank except mouse

So basically, I have a laptop with a 3050ti nvidia ti. Recently I've installed garuda KDE and for some reason my 2nd monitor is simply blank but the mouse.

Now, I once fixed this EXACT issue with ubuntu drivers, but seeing how it's unavailable on arch, I have zero idea on how to fix it.

System settings,
and in termial/konsole use

nvidia-settings

Here, have garuda-inx... or something like that

yeah no, the settings don't look anything like that, there is no server x configuration

Check

pacman -Qi nvidia-settings

And do minimum onetime a week

garuda-update -a

No nvidia driver, no settings.
