I see you're using Xinerama. IIUC, this is meant to have the desktop

monitors as places I can drag windows to/from to be able to have several
apps running and visible at all times.

I don't understand why this would be needed at all, given that I can see
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log that everything about all monitors was accurately
identified. Not sure what section would actually need specifying.
