HiddenBar not showing all icons on main (notched) display, but shows all on external monitor

Describe the bug
Quite a few of my icons are missing on the main display, even though I'm using the setting to use all the bar. They do show on my external monitor:
Steps to reproduce
Main Laptop Monitor (MBP16", M1)
Expected behaviour
External Monitor:
(closeup of the right corner)
Environment
Using Raycast to add Spotify menu icon
I'm having the same issue
I don't think it's a Hidden Bar bug. I guess macOS simply hides icons that don't fit because of the notch 🤷♂️
If hidden opened the "hidden" icons below the menu bar, like Bartender does, it would solve this for users who had a notch on their display:

This is a good idea. I've been using Pro M1 for couple years and recently switched to Air M2. I do also use RDM to extend my resolution beyond the built-in Settings, so I can get away with this for now.
Yes please @viettrungphan please add this feature from Bartender, if you can. Currently the hidden items go beneath the notch and are invisible.
This can't implement with sandbox env, which is the reason why Bartender can't be public in the app store.
I have a suggestion on how to solve this that might be easier / quicker from a SW development perspective (I would contribute myself if I had the skill).
What if clicking on the "<" instead of expanding the icons list to the left did two things:
- Hide all the "permanent icons" (thus giving more real estate for the hidden ones)
- Showed the hidden ones in place of the permanent icons.
This would be only a small behaviour change from the current app and likely solve the problems with the notch for most users.

@viettrungphan iBar has this functionality and it's in the App Store. It's using Accessibility and Screen Recording to do this.
