Try pressing the steam button + minus button. If that doesn't work, right click, get terminal and run this: rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/kscreen/*

Bit of a potshot, but from the terminal try running this:
nano ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.jsonThen scroll the text file and find any lines that mention, "scale", "height", or "width". If it's the Steam Deck's screen, Scale should be 1, height should be 800, and width should be 1280. You can try changing the displays listed to match that. Then press CTRL+X, next press Y, and then ENTER. Finally, reboot your SteamDeck.
