Universal Control

Why does Universal control always assume that my iPad Pro is on the right side of my MacBook Pro?

I prefer to keep my iPad Pro to the left of my Mac, then why do I always have to get my cursor to the right of Mac's screen to go to IPad's screen?

this is inconvenient and unintuitive . please help. :(

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.0

Arrange your displays

Arrange your displays to adjust where your devices think they are relative to the others. You can then move the pointer more precisely in the direction of each display.

On your primary Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings (or System Preferences).
Click Displays.
If using macOS Ventura or later, click the Arrange button.
The settings window shows an image representing each device's display. Drag the image of your iPad or other Mac into position relative to the other displays: to their left, to their right, or below them. A Mac display can also be positioned above other displays. Don't see your display?
