Screen arrangement data is saved in ~/.local/share/kscreen, which can be moved
aside for testing purposes or deleted.
Containment and panel data is stored in a combination of
~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and ~/.config/plasmashellrc.
Those files too can be moved aside for testing, but you might not want to
delete them or else you'll lose all your Plasma customizations).

Can you try with a standard Plasma panel? Using 3rd-party panels is definitely
not helping. :)

This seems like a root cause. If the screen arrangement itself is not being
remembered properly, then that's going to bubble up and nothing else will work
properly too.
I would propose that we start with that issue. For testing purposes, please
remove all EDIT spoofers and other manual workarounds you may have applied. The
goal is to get the system into a clean state where we can reproduce bugs
without local configurations or workarounds interfering. It's often the case
that workarounds for old bugs actually prolong those bugs once the bugs get
fixed, which is what I suspect may be happening here.
