 == Bug Report
 === Description

 When **editing**(scale and crop) an image via "**Attachment details**".
 The **settings** for the selected feature are shown at the **end of the
 popup**. This would be fine in the case of smaller images. But for
 **larger images**, especially ones in the **portrait orientation**, these
 settings are not visible on the screen unless one scrolls down. There
 seems to be room for UX improvement here.

 I think we can keep the settings on the **right-hand side** of the popup,
 which would remove the need to scroll down to use them, no matter what the
 image size is.

 Also, I felt this must have been done as such since not all features need
 a settings section. But can't that be handled by maybe toggling the
 section altogether? ( if placed on the right that is )

 Attaching videos for reference. The video names describe the test cases.

 === Environment
 - WordPress: 6.3-beta4
 - PHP: 7.4.12
 - Server: Apache/2.4.46 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2u PHP/7.4.12 mod_wsgi/3.5
 Python/2.7.13 mod_fastcgi/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0910052141 mod_perl/2.0.11
 Perl/v5.30.1
 - Database: mysqli (Server: 5.7.32 / Client: mysqlnd 7.4.12)
 - Browser: Chrome 114.0.0.0 (macOS)
 - Theme: Twenty Twenty-Three 1.1
 - MU-Plugins: None activated
 - Plugins:
   * WordPress Beta Tester 3.5.1

 === Steps to Reproduce
 1. Navigate to Media Library
 2. Select a large Image to edit(preferably Portrait orientation)
 3. Edit Image
 4. Click on the "Scale" button
 5. Nothing happens
 6. Settings are shown at the end of the popup which can only be seen if
 scrolled.

 === Expected Results
 1. On clicking the "Scale" button, the settings to edit the scale should
 be visible to the user.


 === Actual Results
 1.  Right now "Scale & Crop" settings are only visible if scrolled
 down(for bigger images).
