Windows 10: Display management question

Hello, I have a laptop running Windows 10. I also have 2 external monitors I like to use along with the laptop screen. One monitor is on my left and one is on my right with the laptop in the center.

Here's my problem. When I use all three screens, everything works fine. But when I use 1 monitor along with the laptop screen, (for example if I want to use the 3rd screen for my PS4 while still using the computer on the other 2 screens) whichever one I use, windows defaults to the right hand side, and does not save the position I originaly wanted. (for example the monitor on my left gets defaulted to my right hand side which gets confusing and forces me to go into settings and set it back to the right. but when I want to use all 3 again, I have to move it back again because then the one on my right gets defaulted left.)

While its not the hardest thing to fix every time I plug in a monitor, I would like to know if there's a way for windows to remember my display layout based off of the name of the monitor rather than "the one that is plugged in first is on the right"

Such a first world problem I know lol.

Any help is appreciated.
