Okay so I did the thing and went 3x2 for monitors. My issue is that the two top sides won't line up with the other monitors as shown in the pic per black bars.

Anyone know how to fix this? I could try some wonkey-@$$ resolutions but not sure I want to do that.
 
If you're running different resolutions, they own't line up. So if you're running 4K on the bottom and 1080 on top, even though the aspect ratio might be the same, the actual available pixel area, screenspace, whatever you want to call it, will still be different because of the overall size of the area being rendered/displayed.

You can configure the actual alignment on x and y coordinates depending on orientation and location of the screens as I'm sure you've noticed. But without the same resolutions on all screens, scaling won't be even across all of them at least that's been my findings.

Can you label each screen's resolution and ID, and confirm that what I'm saying is what you're experiencing here?

If you want all screens 1:1 in image output sizing, they need to be the same resolution or so close that one cannot notice or discern the black bars that signify smaller screens from larger ones.
 
Usually when I did something like this the monitors all fit together like building a box tower. You're correct on the resolution differences though with the top two sides being the smallest.

The top goes Dell, VA(ViewSonic) then Dell.
