Windows won't maximize on Bottom Monitor

I have three monitors. Two are mounted side by side, with the build-in lapttop monitor below. Like so

When I use this layout in ArandR windows won't maximize on the bottom monitor.

This issue isn't present if I tell ArandR that my monitors are in a side-by-side (which isn't physically possible, because two of the monitors are on the wall above my laptop. Which is why I need to use the layout above)

I guess my question is what could be causing this, and how would I go about fixing it?

Re: Windows won't maximize on Bottom Monitor

Can we see the `xrandr` script that you're using to set the monitors?

Forgive me if this is a silly question (I've never even owned one monitor, let alone three) but does running the monitors as if they were side-by-side cause any problems?

Re: Windows won't maximize on Bottom Monitor

Head_on_a_Stick the problem is not present when the monitors are side by side (that was actually in my original post ) The problem with this layout, as pointed out by earlybird, as that my monitors a physically above my laptop, so it makes mouse movement a pain.

Here is the script that ArandR generated. I have this script execute on login

#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output HDMI2 --off --output HDMI1 --off --output DP1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 1680x0 --rotate normal --output eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1504x1050 --rotate normal --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal

Earlybird, how would I do that? If I login without running my XrandR script, ("default") all of my monitors are just mirrored
