if you are on nvidia, just set them up from nvidia-settings, you can move them around and then save the configuration
you don't need to do anything in xorg. just run nvidia-settings and you can move the position of the monitors. It should have installed along with the drivers. If not just install it and should be good to go very common for that to happen. You also didn't tell us what distro. You might need to go into your distro settings and make sure the monitors are configured properly as well. On ubuntu it'll default to 60hz and you have to change the settings in there to get the full performance from your monitor. You can also change positions of the monitor in that setting space.
what in the fuck is X12?
Stupid question but can you swap the cables on one end?
i have a laptop so no
X12?
About your problem: You can configure your monitors through the nvidia-utils and then generate a xorg.conf file for these settings.
typo. i meant x11. anyway when I get home i'll try using nvidia-utils
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
