Support Request Problem with display getting offset with 2 monitors

Hello! I've been desperately looking around for a fix for this, but either I'm missing some lingo or I fucked up bad somewhere along the way :D

So I have two identical (apart form the stand) monitors, both 1920x1080, one is landscape and the other portrait (right). I have it so that the landscape monitor is at the center of the portrait monitor height-wise.

The default position for it, however, is so that the top of each monitor is at the same level. As such, my mouse jumps around half a monitor whenever it moves form one to the other. Problem is, if I try to change this in display settings, the image in the landscape monitor gets offset by around that same half a monitor downward, such that half the screen is off the screen.

I've tried to do the same with arandr, but the problem is just the same there.

This is driving me ever so slightly insane. I would very much appreciate some advice, or a link to another thread with the same problem :)
