Just upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7 and the dual monitors I use switched positions. I've tried resetting them using the displays setting, but no luck. It's not a killer problem, but very frustrating. Any idea how to fix this?
Mac mini 2018 or later

A Few Thoughts:
I. Boot into Safe Mode:
Hold Down: the shift key upon boot. While in Safe Mode, cashes are set aside, and login items do not run when logged in. Also, files are fixed - files that may be causing this. So, login using Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds once logged in, and then restart. Log in normally.
II. Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:
Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for Monitors) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM. Use a different external keyboard, if available option. It may take a few tries for each, so be certain your have snout time to perform this.
III. Reinstall the macOS:
Nothing would be lost. It's just that misplaced items would be placed back to where they should be and corrupt system files would be replaced by clean files. Go Here: Reinstall macOS - Apple Support. Use the third bulleted method: [command + r].
