Sorry if this has been posted before, I just can’t seem to find any documentation that shows how to do this. This was a feature present in V1. With the configuration that I have now in V2, you have to use org-roam-buffer-toggle or org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated, which is not as convenient as you have to toggle the buffer on and off to display backlinks.
