Should I have two instances of openbox running? I'm just using xrandr. Maybe
I missed a wiki on setting this up.

My first guess would be that perhaps you have set something up in your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file incorrectly.

It would be easy enough to do to use an offset that's too big.
So if your first monitor was 1280x1024, and you used an offset on the second
monitor of +1300 then you would end up with a gap of 20 pixels between the
monitors.

So, if I were you, I would check those first, and that includes any
meta-modes as well.

If that's all good, then how are you starting openbox on both monitors?
