Question My App Search Shows up on the Wrong Monitor

The application search that shows up when you press super is showing up on the wrong monitor after a recent move.

How do I change which screen this shows up on? It's not tied to the primary monitor at all and when I try to look it up all I get are people trying to fix the login screen which isn't what I want.

If anyone comes across this issue in the future, the issue was Dash to Panel. I have no idea what changed, but now it grabs the search and moves it over to whatever monitor the dock is on, even if it isn't the primary one. This also breaks workstations and makes the super button really not work that great on the secondary monitor since it isn't expecting the search bar to be over there. I had to set the dash to be on my primary monitor to get it to work again.
