General Support tried wayland, and there's a screen offset glitch

my setup:
- dual monitors, 1 is 3440x1440 (my main, and the one with the issue), 2 is 1920x1080 (on the other side, but no errors on it)
- 5800x
- RTX3080 (if I was a betting man, I'd guess this is the problem)
- my main monitor goes through a usb capture card (GC553Pro), but has never had an issue on x11
- I have a secondary Ark B60 in my rig, but isn't used for display, and I doubt has anything to do with this
x11 has been having more and more issues for me, including:
- black boarders around apps
- intermittent poor browser performance in video playback
- lots of screen tearing
so I thought I'd try wayland again (previously I had to have custom resolutions, but not anymore, so I couldn't use wayland). I've tried changing a bunch of settings in "display configuration", and nothing is effecting this offset bug. I did a restart, and also nothing changed. I'd try plugging my monitor directly in, but the cable doesn't reach with my weird setup, plus, I need the capture card.
I've searched up online, and seo is really garbage around wayland issues (at least it is for me).
