I found a reddit post that solves my copy paste issue:

Might be of interest to any of you.
I've changed it up a little to add the dynamic resolution functionality from my previous comment:
#!/bin/sh
# Remove the performance overlay, it meddles with some tasks
unset LD_PRELOAD
# Get screen resolution
X=$(xdpyinfo -display :0 | awk '/dimensions/{print $2}' | cut -d 'x' -f1)
Y=$(xdpyinfo -display :0 | awk '/dimensions/{print $2}' | cut -d 'x' -f2)
rm -rf /tmp/desktop-mode
mkdir -p /tmp/desktop-mode
cat > /tmp/desktop-mode/kwin_wayland_wrapper << EOF
#!/bin/sh
$(which kwin_wayland_wrapper) --width $X --height $Y --no-lockscreen --x11-display $DISPLAY \$@
