What happens if you swap which cable goes to which screen, or only have the black screen be connected?

Same, it’s always the same screen

It could still be a DE config issue since the config can identify screen ID based on some kind of ID given by the hardware (sway can do this for example). What DE are you using and what is the text file config related to screen output?
