Windows 10: "touch optimised taskbar" not working with multiple monitors

Im using a 2in1 laptop where tablet mode activates without issues when i flip the screen. "Optimise taskbar for touch interactions when this device is used as a tablet" is checked in the taskbar settings and turns on when my device is in tablet mode, just as it should.But for some reason, when i have a second display connected, the taskbar on my laptop goes into "standard mode". Tablet mode still seems to be activated, because when i tap text on the touchscreen, the touch keyboard appears, which as far as i know only happens in tablet mode. Is there any way to fix this?
