Social share image only small thunbnail on likedin

The preview in the plugin shows a fill width image above the post title, if I check the url in https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/ it also shows it as a large image. But when it’s actually shared on Linkedin, it’s only a small thumbnail to the left of the post title. This also seems to be how X previews it, only Facebook seems to use a large image.
Is this just how Linkedin and X does it or can you control this?

As site owners, we can only control the meta tags and Schema markup offered to social and search sites. How those social and search sites decide to use the information provided in meta tags and Schema markup is up to them. What WPSSO does is make sure the information provided conforms to the requirements of each social and search site, which includes the resolution of each image offered in meta tags and Schema markup.
Since you did not include a URL to an example post/page on your site, I cannot comment on any specific image in your meta tags or Schema markup, but what I can suggest is to make sure there are no image related warnings or errors from WPSSO when saving a post/page. If there are any warnings or errors, especially for missing or under-sized images, then you should take those seriously and implement the suggested fixes.
Also, using the validation tools suggested in the SSO > Setup Guide is always a good idea.

This issue is less of the crop, rather then the layout. I’m guessing that this is a linkedin thing which we have no control over. The Linkedin post inspector shows the preview as
