Playnite fullscreen mode rendering at the wrong resolution

Bug Description
Fullscreen mode's render resolution seems to be dictated by the primary display, so even if I select a higher resolution display in fullscreen mode, it still uses whatever resolution the primary display is using.
I use the plugin "Switch Display" by Konnogatto to automatically switch my primary display to my TV when it launches fullscreen mode, but since it's all handled after the fullscreen mode is fully initiated, it remains in 2K, my main monitor's resolution.
To Reproduce
In fullscreen mode, select a display that's of higher resolution compared to your primary display. Launch fullscreen mode while the lower resolution display is set to primary.
