X crashes when enabling third monitor

What GPU?
Some models have issues with the latest drivers when comes to Display Port or some like that

You could probably try to make use of the video-nvidia-470xx drivers instead.

Also, instead of enabling that monitor from Nvidia Settings, do it from the System Settings. As it seems you are on KDE Plasma … do that first, then try to open Nvidia Settings. Also, if you want to make a fixed layout, don’t forget: the correct file to alter is /etc/X11/mhwd.d/nvidia.conf
