Hi!
I am not able to recreate this, but it doesn't mean it's not an issue for others. Are your devices and apps up-to-date?
Just checked my apps and Android device. All are up to date.
I do see a slight difference in the mobile app and the web. It is suggested in the guides that "For best practice, images should be approximately 262 pixels wide by 146 pixels high" -

Even with that, just like you noticed, content is cut off because the ratio is a little different for mobile. I would suggest adding a 10 percent padding around all content so it doesn't touch the edges. This would be my quick fix. See the screenshots below.

iOS (Dashboard)
iOS (in course)
Adding that little bit of padding keeps the content visible. Let me know if this helps.
