cintiq 16 (DTK2200) decided calibrating was supposed to be a carnival game

Problem

OK so my issue is probably standard but i've looked up a solution endlessly to no avail.

I was using a cintiq 16 2021 before and i just got it replaced with a 2025. When i plugged in the 2025 (without installing the new drivers) the tablet was properly calibrated with my laptop's resolution, but unsurprisingly pen pressure wasn't active. It's plugged in with a micro hdmi to hdmi cord, and my computer didn't have usbc ports so i am using a usbc to usb adapter on the end of that cord.

After i installed the latest drivers as recommended by Wacom's own website (being the 6.4.13-4 version) and restarted my computer however, calibration is way off. No matter how many times i try to recalibrate using the built-in calibration function in the tablet properties software, no change at all.

While trying to fix it, i did uninstall and reinstall the wacom drivers, and again, when wacom drivers aren't here, the calibration works flawlessly. I'm lost on how to fix this. If you've got any idea how to fix this please do tell.
