      @Babene1 I have run two monitors one landscape, one portait with MM on each
      using the electronOptions:{} settings.

      the cursor moves over both seamlessly.
      that is one big display space.
      the xrandr command will tell you …

      do you have two complete independant desktops?

        @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"

          @BKeyport xrandr --query worked while running wayland, output above

          wlr-randr does not do --query

              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 !
