a little while ago after updating some packages KDE has stopped functioning, all I got was a black screen, but I was able to go to terminal with ctrl+alt+f2. After reinstalling KDE (not the entire OS but just the packages) I was able to get it working again. Before that I did try to reinstall amdgpu driver but it failed. (I'm using a laptop with ryzen cpu (radeon graphics) + nvidia rtx 3070)
KDE is functionally normally, except 2 out of 3 external screens are no longer working (they worked fine before). I can only get the internal screen and 1 external monitor working.
1 monitor is connected through HDMI, 2 others are displayport using a usb-c to display port adapter. The screen that's working is 1 of the display port screens.
I tried removing kscreen settings and rebooting, but this is not working.
Here's my xrandr output with all monitors connected, I have enabled 2 external monitors but only 1 is working. The others (built in and external monitor) are disabled. (If I enable the 3rd external monitor I only get half a screen..)

What can I do to get all external monitors working again?
I also tried to see if I could switch the driver using GNOME's Software & Updates 'additional drivers' tab, but it's stuck on 'continue using manually installed driver' with all other options greyed out.
