Some window buttons won’t change to left

I use ubuntu 18.10 and since yesterday I have a problem with window buttons.
I’ve set in tweaks to show only close button on the left.
However, right now some applications open with default all three buttons on the right and some with my custom settings.
How can I set all windows to use my custom settings declared in tweaks?
Some applications that won’t change buttons: file explorer, pantheon-terminal, screenshot, settings.
Some applications that change buttons:
Firefox, signal, vs code.

are you trying to keep only close button on left and remaining minimize and maximize on right?
