I had the same problem first, but you need to have the mouse cursor on that monitor where you want to add zones and than press the hotkey ( Win + ~ ).
So you can have separate configs for each monitor.
I think it needs some information about that usage, but it works fine if you know it.

I'm changing the title to better reflect the issue that is a lack of documentation/difficult to discover feature.
