@delfyr since this is exactly half of the screen, this will be an issue with the monitor. It is time to open it up and check your boards. It is possible that this is a GPU error but it can also be a data error. I am convinced that there is not a setting that will turn your Left hand side (while looking at the monitor) This is most likely a panel error. Post some pictures of your boards as well as how they are organized in the back of this monitor.

@delfyr it most certainly is part of the problem. The bigger issue will be the destroyed traces. Unless you have the tools and the skills to solder jumpers on those traces, you are most likely looking at purchasing a new board. Can yours be fixed? Yes, but it needs some excellent craftsmanship.

@delfyr okay that is a good question. Let's start with the what do you need to do. The green stuff on top of those traces has to come off. That is a tricky part. IT is just a thin layer so you need to be carefully scrape it away. I used to use a scalpel for this. Available at places like Amazon, Tractor supply etc. So you need to be very gentle with that. Of course you can get a small rotary tool to help you with that.
So remove that layer to expose the copper. Then get a piece of enameled jumper wire. Something Like 0.1mm or thereabouts will work. Tin the ends of the wire and tin the exposed copper of the broken trace. Then solder the jumper into place. No, you do not need to follow the original contour. Just make sure you are on the right trace. I prefer to start and end teh jumper a short distance away from the damage area. Once the jumper is soldered in place, apply a UV solder mask to ensure it is somewhat insulated. There are also pad strip available that you can use instead on the wire. I just prefer the wire.
Shopping list
Soldering station
Solder (I prefer a 60/40 solder)
Flux (Amtech NC-559 is my preference)
jumper wire (If you have some thin wired cable you can use the strands from that. I use an old LVDS cable for that)
UV solder mask
UV light
and the above tools to remove the old solder mask.
As with any board level work, make sure you have good light and some sort of magnifying source.
I am sure there is a thing or two which I forgot to mention but this should get you there. If you have never done that, be prepared to practice. To much heat may just lift the rest of the traces :-) not enough heat will only "stick" the jumper on without being properly connected. It'll fall back off :-)
Practice, Practice, Practice

@delfyr That is correct. If nothing else, you could even bypass that whole area and go to the next straight run (Extend your line to the next straight end) Something like this
