So I ended up figuring it out with a little more playing around in the nvidia control panel. Thanks though for the help!

Use wall mounts or something like a video wall rack

I got them mounted. Need the software side figured out though. If I disable SLI and surround, they all work. I enable surround, the 4th is inactive...

Do you have only one video card? Why do you need SLI? Use LDA or something with multiple video cards if you need performance... If it works and you don't need extra features, then you're fine.

NVidia's surround is for the three bottom monitors. Just use your integrated GPU or a second "monitor driver" if you don't need performance on the last monitor.

 

What exactly is your intent for this setup? It changes the configuration by A LOT.

You need to go into Display settings and enable the monitors. Also, I'd advise using Displayfusion.
