Hi Gregg,
That is strange. There is no change made to announcer related to this. I checked the same on my test setup and the settings panel is seen in the center as expected.
Can you please try click and drag the “settings” header to the center? If it is not helpful, can you please share a screenshot?
Can you also please try on Screen options -> Layout section -> 1 column and then switch to 2 column?
Thanks,
Aakash
