Windows had this problem for AGES if you had 1 or more DisplayPort monitors connected, and I think it was in 2020 that they finally fixed it. I used to use this utility [0] to remember my layout, then when I learned that the problem was DP I started making sure I had enough HDMI/DVI ports on my graphics card(s) to avoid DP altogether.
Now I keep it running anyway because it's incredibly convenient in case I accidentally minimize all my windows and then reopen one or something.

Maybe something similar exists for Mac?
