NTP SI spilling over/being cut off making the NTP page scrollable on smaller screens

[kjozwiak]

Description

On some older devices that have a smaller screen, sometimes the NTP SI spills to the bottom which in turn cuts off parts of the SI and makes the NTP page scrollable even though Brave News hasn't been disabled. Originally reported by @bradleyrichter and very similar #21511 which was reported by @LaurenWags

Steps to reproduce

Unfortunately I don't have STR/Cases as this was reported by others but seems like simply loading the NTP on a small screen will cause the issue to appear.

Issue reproduces how often
