Lock the Dock to one display to stop it moving to 2nd display

I originally posted about this in December 2022 and also completed a Feedback to Apple and have never detected any action from them about it. Still frustrated with this problem I decided to have a look on the App Store and found "Docklock Lite". Brilliant it works.

lock dock to one of two screens on 2019 MacPro Big Sur I have 2 monitors connected to a 2019 Mac Pro running 11.4 Big Sur. I want to lock the dock to one of the screens, but if I sneeze, the dock jumps from one screen to the other. This instability of the interface REALLY annoying!!!!! Is there a way to lock the dock? If not, it shows that Steve jobs' guiding hand is really dead........ Any info gratefully received.

LEFT: external display CENTER: macbook display RIGH: external display If I put the dock position setting on "LEFT" it goes to the external monitor on the left. Is there a way to keep it on the LEFT part of the central monitor (which is the mackbook)? Thanks

How do I keep the Dock at the bottom of my main screen when using a secondary monitor? So I purchased a small 12.3 narrow IPS Screen to set below my main computer screen in order to watch content on it without interrupting my main screen. It works great but I am unable to keep the "dock" at the bottom of the main screen. I can lock the dock to the right or left of the main screen but NOT the bottom of the main screen as it always jumps to the bottom of little tiny screen below. So now when I use Launchpad to open an app, it opens in the little screen with absolutely useless tiny icons. While I am not a fan of having my dock on the right or left it does work that way. In settings, the Menu Location does work, but there is just no way to select the main screen as the "bottom" for the Dock. This sucks and it kinda ruined the purpose of buying the little screen.
