As you can see in the photos, just my left and right SMMD230's swap places. I've tried messing with displayplacer code, but it seems to get messed up after a couple weeks and the monitors eventually change names (see how they're labeled 1 and 2 now instead of the original and (1).)

I just tried swapping the cables to be in different ports (now 2 monitors feed into my CalDigit Element Hub instead of one). Is there any way to manually change the names of the monitors so they stop forgetting which is which or something?

Why not just hardwire the monitors directly from the Studio instead of going through the hub. I haven't seen this problem and I'm running 3x4k Dell monitors directly off the Studio.

I also seen this problem on my mac studio working with two 27'' 4k monitors.

I think may be the order of waking up monitors is the trick.

That's how they were with the problem with the exception of one, because I needed a direct port for my raid.
