Hi, do you have the screens configured as 'extended desktop'? I've noticed that the if the window size exceeds the capabilities of one or the other screens it can cause issues. Try going back to 'windowed' mode and reducing the size, then try to drag the window to the other screen and then try to go to 'full screen' mode.

By 'windowed' mode I just mean it's not full screen so that you are able to change the size of the VLC window making sure it doesn't exceed the screen's dimensions.
