It might be that Auto Arrange is doing this to you.

Try right mouse clicking on the desktop. In the context sensitive menu that appears you should see "Arrange Icons By >". Go into this submenu and see if "Auto Arrange" has a checkbox next to it. If it does, try unchecking it, and see if that does not help with your issue.

check your video card settings. I only know this for windows - but go to DISPLAY, it will label one of your monitors the primary (1) and the other (2). Check those settings out because it will put them on your (1) screen every time.

This might sound kind of dumb, but you could always just physically switch your monitors. Make your left monitor your right one and vice versa.

Yes, no doubt. It did sound dumb.
