See if you still have this option >System Preferences>Displays

press the Option key while you're in Displays— You'll get a Detect displays button (bottom right).


there is a checkbox "Show displays in menu bar". If you check it, you get a new icon in the menu bar that has "Detect Displays" as its first option.


You should see the arrangements , and/ or click the question mark in the lower right for the help menu.

if it is recognized.
