In my case I just wanted to move 5 or 6 icons from Left screen to the Right Screen. I could finally move them with a bit of luck:
1. Right click on the desktop and use the "Keep aligned" option.
2. Select the icon on the left screen by clicking not in the middle of the icon but as on the left as possible.
3. Move it to the right as much as possible, so as it gets in the middle of both screens (as much as possible).
4. Enlarge the icon (Right click option)
5. Try to move it to the right, if you are lucky (I had to try for 20-30 seconds) the icon will align on the first column of the right screen.

Tips and limitations:
Try using a long icon name.
Don't move again the icon, it will go back to the left screen.
Only the first column of the right screen is reachable with this workaround.
