Figure out first if this is a dwm problem. Does it work in openbox (or whatever)? What does xrandr say?
I'd start here: https://dwm.suckless.org/multi-monitor/
May help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xrandr
Is it the same one every time or is it random? What DWM? Do the two screens use the same type of cable to connect to your GPU? Does power-cycling your black monitor or disconnecting/reconnecting the cable fix the issue?
- It's always the same screen, and disconnecting/reconnecting dosn't work. im starting to think it's a screen issue
  
  What happens if you swap which cable goes to which screen, or only have the black screen be connected?
