Privacy screen covers menu bar on macbook pro

Has anyone figured out a way to deal with using a privacy screen on a Macbook Pro with a notch? the top of the screen magnetically attaches to the macbook pro. It works great, but it blocks the menu bar. I seem to remember, at some point in time, I was able to show the menu bar "Below" the notch, which would fix the problem. But I can't seem to find a way to enable that. Anyone have ideas? For now, I simply remove the privacy screen to find the menu bar item.

A search online only talks about "Scale to fit" for apps under the get info section, but I'm lookint to muve the bar below the notch for general use and for the finder.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.4

I found an answer: an app called "Say No To Notch" search it on the appstore. It's exactly what I needed. Launche,d and the entire menu bar drops below the notch, so now, when the privacy screen is attatched, it no longer covers the menu bar. Then, when I'm done with the privacy screen I can simply toggle it back to normal.

I hope this helps others.

Oh, if someone knows a way to do this same effect with built in OS, in settings or something, please post how.
