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:
1) open regedit: "Windows Key + R", type in "regedit", hit "OK"
2) navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3
3) double click on the "Settings" file
4) change the 13th pair of digits in the sequence to change the taskbar alignment:
"00" Left
"01" Top
"02" Right
"03" Bottom

My Taskbar moves to the top of my left monitor, I have checked the reg key and it shows "03" for the 13th pair.

- Is the left monitor set as your main display? I only had the issue on my main display. What happens if you only run one monitor at a time? Other than the solutions in this thread, I'm not sure what else would fix the issue, sorry. Worst case you can make a new user and it should work normally but that is a hassle as you would need to move all your data and potentially re-install some programs.
- The middle is set as my main (however, all POST displays on the left)
