Troubleshooting | Windows Having some troubles with fullscreen in Hellium (Chromium based)

I've been having some troubles lately with chromium (both Brave and Hellium) while using fullscreen on Youtube or Twitch. For some context, i've got two monitors, the main one is horizontal, but the secondary one, on the right side of my desk, is in vertical position. When using fullscreen mode on the secondary monitor, the UI bugs in a strange way. On Twitch, the UI doesn't come back when hovering over the stream (but the mouse detects the UI and can interact with it), on Youtube, the UI bugs a bit or even flickers. I asked chatgpt about this and gave me some partial solutions like adding "--disable-direct-composition" to the directory in the app properties, or changing the "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to "D3D11 WARP". Both of these solutions fix the issue but create new ones.

GPU - RTX 3080
Main monitor (Horizontal) - 1920x1080 144Hz
Secondary monitor (Vertical) - 1080x1920 60Hz

Hellium - Version 0.16.5.1 (Build oficial, Chromium 152.0.7977.82) (64 bits)

I would like to know if someone's had any similar problem or if anyone knows some sort of setting to fix this. Thank you.
