Radeon assigns wrong numbers to dual displays. Possible to switch monitor order in system level?

I have two monitors: M1 and M2. M1 is on the left and my main monitor, M2 is on the right and my secondary monitor. AMD graphics card somehow assigns display1 to M2, and display2 to M1. Due to connector technologies, M1 and M2 cannot be connected to the graphics card differently.
Problems
Windows and Ubuntu both assume that display1 (M2) is on the left and the main monitor. I can change the monitor position and primary monitor in both OS's, but the unlike Windows, that is not applied to the login screen of Ubuntu. That is, if I move the mouse to the left of M1(left monitor), the mouse then comes in from the right of M2(right monitor).
Not only in the login screen, it also causes problems in the desktop. Even though I have dragged M1 to the left and set as the primary monitor, if I use Win+P to turn off M2, and then enable M2 again, the primary monitor is moved from M1 (display2, left, main) to M2 (display1, right, secondary). In case of KDE.
Also, I have to change the monitor position and primary monitor for each desktop environment.
In short, is this possible?
I am not sure if I can explain it well, but can I fundamentally map M1 to the first display and M2 to the second display in the device level, so that all other software (login, Gnome, KDE, etc.) that run on top of it will think M1 is the main display and left of M2?
