Welcome to the manjaro forum
If you post the conky script someone may be able to help you with it.
how do i do this? Where are the conky scripts? I don’t know about this
look in .config/conky for conky.conf.
it says file not allowed

Do you mean the scrolling text? If so that’s how it was designed.
If you don’t want it to scroll then you can replace
${color grey}Info:$color ${scroll 32 Conky $conky_version - $sysname $nodename $kernel $machine}
with
${color grey}Info:$color Conky $conky_version - $sysname $nodename $kernel $machine
or
${color grey}Info:$color Conky $conky_version
${color grey}$sysname $nodename $kernel $machine
If you don’t want that information you can delete the line.
