Mac OS Preview App start on left side

Why does the Mac OS Preview App always start on the left side of the screen? How can I prevent this? I always have to drag the window in the center - very annoying on a 34" inch monitor.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

Programs not covering the screen All of my programs open covering only about 80% of the screen. I know how to make them bigger but I want them to open that way. I'm not talking about full screen, I just want them to extend to the sides. 2018 MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.1

MacOS Ventura: YouTube or Video shifting 90 degrees on external monitor with multiple setups I have a 3 monitor setup, One main (38inc monitor), and two extended vertical (90degrees) displays. When I watch a video on the main display, like Youtube but not limited to Youtube, the video automatically shifts to 90 degrees unless I move my mouse. If stop moving the mouse, the video shifts 90 degrees. This only happens to the video, not the main page or any website. I upgraded to MacOS Ventura, and previous versions ran fine with this setup. I am using a M1Max Macbook pro. Has anybody come across this bug? How can I fix this as it is very annoying!

Streaming Services Play Audio With No Video I have recently updated my Mac book with the latest installment on December of 2022. Once the download was completed and installed, I tried to watch my streaming services (Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV, Etc). The Websites load normally. The previews play normally. It is worth mentioning that I have two monitors. When I click on a show, the window automatically goes to full screen across both displays, and starts playing. All the normal controls for the streaming service are present and functional. I can pause, play, skip the video, but there is no image; only sound. Please help me figure this out. Thanks,

That's how it's coded.

You can't.
