I saw this the other day on my computer, then I checked and most of it was system monitor, so I think it was just a memory leak or something

It is if the memory is held by the kernel for caching or buffering. Is it using an in memory swap file? If that’s even possible, I’m not sure.
I have no idea how that GUI thing measures memory usage, but if you run top in a terminal, it'll show free, used by programs, and buffer/cache separately.
zram is in-memory swap, but it's compressed/decompressed on the fly, so it shouldn't take up a ton of room, and certainly not at idle.
