Dock not showing on external monitor

I've just installed macOS Sequoia on my M1 MacBook Pro and my wife's M2 MacBook Air. We both have external monitors, and the dock is not showing on any of the external displays. Does anybody have a fix for this?

This is a straight up lie.

I've been using Sonoma until just a few minutes ago, and I have ALWAYS had my displays arranged vertically, external display above the internal display, because that's how they are set up physically.

Until just a few minutes ago, when the Sequoia installation finished, I have ALWAYS had a Dock at the "seam" between the two screens, i.e. at the bottom of the external screen, above the internal screen.

I remember how it annoyed me that I always had to move the mouse to one of the corners on the external display to get the Dock, and that the Dock would often vanish again while I was hovering over it to pick an app, because my mouse moved too far down and onto the lower internal screen.

It has DEFINITELY been possible for AGES to have the Dock between two vertically stacked screens, because that's what I did for the past couple of years.
