I have a 49" super widescreen monitor and im not even seeing the notifications banner popping up on my screen due to the width of the monitor (even tho i have set them to not go away)
Is there a way to get the notification on middle (top) of the screen instead? Any hack or any app that i can install that allows me to do this?

Im on big sur
 
Turn on notification sounds. And then, if you hear the sound, look to the right.

Yeah, problem is now that im not able to have the sound on at work, so i need to find another solution, and the notification banner at top screen would be the best way to fix this.
 
You can’t change the system notifications. But if you can’t have the sound on, turn on screen flashing in accessibility settings. It will flash once instead of making a sound when an alert comes in, and then you can look at the notification

Hm, that method doesnt seems to be working with email notifications ( which i use the most), since you cant have any "sound" notification on email.

Any other idea on how to make the screen flashing on email notifications?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Isn't there a checkbox at the bottom for "Play sound for notifications" at System Preferences>Notifications>Mail?
 
Mail does seem to do it's own thing, with it's own sound preferences in the app that don't trigger the flash. If you use another app like outlook, it will. Anything with the preference in system preferences does.
