Nvidia multiple monitor with different resolution

I have 2 monitor that have different resolution which is 1440x900 and 1360x768. But the default settings for my 1360x768 monitor in Nvidia-settings is 1024x768 and when I tried to change it to 1360x768 the screen is off the monitor or its out of it margin.

Here's my xorg.conf
