DIY desk for gaming setup

I am building a custom desk for my gaming setup. I sketched out this blueprint by hand (proportions are estimated).
The two desks won't be connected together.
Here are the parts:
- Desk legs (Green circles): https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/adils-leg-black-70217973/#content
- Desk 1: https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/ekbacken-countertop-brown-walnut-effect-laminate-60476486/#content
- Desk 2: https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/tolken-countertop-brown-walnut-effect-laminated-board-50568325/#content
- Monitor A (Main monitor): https://rog.asus.com/ca-en/monitors/32-to-34-inches/rog-swift-oled-pg34wcdm/
- Monitor B: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/displays-desktops/monitors/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-vg34vqel1a/
- Monitor arms (Dark blue): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07NLMLLT6?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details&th=1

I already own both of the monitors, and one arm for the main monitor.

Is the placement for the legs good? Is the material for the desks strong enough to handle the weight of my monitors and the pressure at the clamping points? Would the monitor arm listed work for my second monitor since It will be extended quite a bit?
