Good! There are
\definemathtopaccent[\v!top:\v!stretch][wideoverleftarrow] ["20D6]
\definemathtopaccent[\v!top:\v!stretch][wideoverrightarrow] ["20D7]
so you could look at the setups to see if you want top or top:stretch
(maybe you already did).

what is going on is that apparently stixtwo 20D7 has sty and ssty
versions, but 20D6 does not. This seems to be the only (of the few I
tested) fonts that has this. So, what happens is probably that we need
to take care of that situation. (Do you use them in superscripts or
was that just testing?)
