      @sdetweil With the displays showing “HDMI-A-1” etc, it’s in Wayland, xrandr doesn’t function under that. This is part of why I suggested going back to X11.

      The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

            You are absolutely brilliant, now it works.
            I change in “raspi-config” to x11 desktop environment and now magicmirror run on second monitor.

            Thank you all for your tips

              @BKeyport I believe you are right. I had the same issue. I tried to run the xrandr query and I could not print the displays. I looked everywhere, the only solution I found was to switch back to X11. This was the only way to get the electron option to treat the screen as a single screen and move the display to the second monitor.
              Anyway, thanks a lot, reading this post solved my problem and I was trying to figure it out for a while !
