Could be they not optimized for Andriod 11 yet

Do you have Adaptive Brightness on? If so, when you turn the phone to landscape, is your finger covering the ambient light sensor? If so, that might cause the screen to dim, because it thinks you're in a dark room.

well i also like to have auto brightness on yes i have to turn that off not sure why

So make sure your hand or thumb isn't covering the ambient light sensor when you're in landscape. You can see where it is in the diagram on this page: www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/s20-device-layout-and-functions/
