Windows 10: How do I resize custom screen savers?

All custom screen savers do not display correctly on my monitors. They glitch out due to one screen having a higher scaling than the other, resulting in the right-half of the screensaver not covering the desktop on my right monitor, leaving it showing. The default screensavers do not have this issue. This may also be caused by one monitor being physically raised slightly relative to the other.


Left monitor is at 250% scaling, right monitor is at 300% scaling, right monitor's bottom of the screen is a little higher than the left monitor's bottom of the screen.


I would like to emphasize again that ALL custom screen savers are causing this glitch or just being misaligned, not just any single one. No custom screen savers work in this specific setup. I will not be changing this setup.


Is there a way to force custom screen savers to resize without altering the scaling/positioning of the screen?


This question is for the community not Microsoft.
