Better app for multi-monitor setup (that saves positioning?)

I have 4x monitors and I often disable the extra ones because I sometimes use my 1440p G-Sync monitor for games, sometimes my larger 4K for games, and turn off the extras when not in use to avoid problems with the game figuring out which monitor, and a bunch of extra blue light in the room.

However when I re-enable the monitors, it never remembers the settings and just scatters them back. So I manually re-position. However problem is when the monitors don't get the exact same position back, work apps like Premiere Pro place all the tools shifted over wrong (as if they are remembering the old monitor place and fitting them into where they expect them to be in the layout).

Super annoying. Any better monitor management apps that can quickly save settings, load settings, and allow me to consistently get the exact same monitor placement back? Bonus if it can do quick setup swapping from task tray bar.

Thanks Elixer! Well, it wasn't so much for icons as much as it was for Premiere. It does this weird thing where all the work windows are off. I'm mainly trying to get something that disables/re-enables monitors and puts them back not only in the same order, but the exact same position in 3D space (I have monitors stacked vertically as well).

Check out Display Fusion. I think it can do what you want. I only use it with two monitors, but it has a ton of customization options.
