Universal Control... Display arrangement, iPad on top of display

I cant switch between the MacBook Pro and the iPad by forcing the cursor to the edge of the display. I think this is because the iPad is on top of my main display, and I cant rearrange the iPad display to the side of the display. Does anyone else have a problem with this?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Can't see add display in display settings? I have a MacBook Air m1 and a iPad Pro 2016. I want to use universal control but I can't see "add display". Even though I tried it by holding the option key. Does universal control still available in MacBooks?

universal control display arrangment I have a setup of Mac (main screen) and external display, plugged to the Mac (secondary screen). As far as I can see, it is not possible for now to place external device (Mac/Macbook/iPad) as external display in the middle of main screen and secondary screen like we can do with regular display. Or there is such options? Does anyone know? Where can I place feature-request if there is not such feature?

Universal control - can't place iPad to the "top" of MacBook (but can for Sidecar) I often find myself working whilst mobile, and put my iPad behind my MacBook elevated, as I typically join video calls using my iPad. The problem is that Universal Control doesn’t seem to accept this as a valid placement when arranging my displays in system settings. So I’m hoping someone might have a work around, as this does seem to be something apple have overlooked? If you try to place the iPad like this: It just moves the iPad back to the previous position Hoping someone might have a work around. Thanks for any help! PS - If you extend your monitor (sidecar feature) you are able to arrange the displays with the iPad on top:
