shown is Icon Placement, limiting to the upper edge of the rigth "main" screen

After successfully displaying double screen arrangement with xrandr. 
here shown are Icon arrangement of single screen display and same icons on double screen display. 

Some Icons are hidden from visibility and access. I cannot click on Icons hidden from the screen surface. Icons are aligned to the wrong limits.
 
Icon Places shall be confined to the area, which is accessible by the mouse pointer.

Icon placement is decided by the program drawing them (which in this case 
appears to be the file manager), not the X server.  You'll need to report
this to MATE, not Xorg.
