For anyone who wants what I wanted–SDDM to only appear on 1 monitor, here you go. It’s my current config:

/etc/sddm.conf

[Autologin]
Relogin=false
Session=
User=

[General]
DisplayServer=x11
GreeterEnvironment=
HaltCommand=/usr/bin/systemctl poweroff
InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard
Namespaces=
Numlock=on
RebootCommand=/usr/bin/systemctl reboot

[Theme]

To configure SDDM to your liking, go to this link:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM

And here’s the other:
/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetup

xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --primary
xrandr --output DisplayPort-1 --off

To find your monitor name, log into an Xorg session and do the following command: xrandr | grep " connected " | awk '{ print$1 }'

If this isn’t to your liking, you can find how to configure your displays here:
