thanks heaps! that fixed it! wish I had seen this sooner as I ended up just creating a new user account and migrating my data over. XD in case anyone else in the future has the same issue, the fix is as below:

I found the solution here: https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-11/how-to-move-the-windows-11-taskbar-to-left-or-right-and-customize/
Seems the same as you mentioned, the only difference this site advised to "...double-click the 5th column in the 2nd row."
