macbook m3 pro mouse will not move to extended display monitors

I'm connecting 2 acer monitors (60hz) to MacBook. One using a usb 4 port and other using the hdmi port. The mouse or trackpad will move between the main display (MacBook) and one monitor well but when I connect the send monitor the mouse is confined to the display at was on at the time.

Check the arrangement of displays in Displays {Settings/Preferences}. The computer doesn’t know the physical arrangement of your displays, aside from what you tell it. Very likely you can move the mouse into the other monitor - but the crossing point is at a very unintuitive place because the Displays arrangement does not match the physical one.
