If the shopping cart in the top nav menu is getting cut off in the preview and published version of the website, several factors could be causing this issue. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

Overflow hidden: Check if the parent element of the shopping cart icon has the CSS property overflow set to hidden. This can cause the shopping cart to be cut off if it exceeds the container's boundaries. Change the overflow property to visible, or adjust the container's dimensions to accommodate the shopping cart.
Z-index: Ensure that the shopping cart element has a higher z-index value than the surrounding elements. A lower z-index can cause the shopping cart to be hidden behind other elements on the page. Increase the z-index value of the shopping cart element to bring it forward.
Positioning: Verify the positioning of the shopping cart element. If it is set to absolute, it may be overlapping with another element, causing it to get cut off. Adjust the position of the shopping cart element or the surrounding elements to prevent overlapping.
Viewport constraints: Take into account the size of the viewport or the device screen when designing the website. If the shopping cart is not responsive or its dimensions are not adjusted properly for different screen sizes, it may get cut off on smaller devices. Use media queries or responsive design techniques to ensure that the shopping cart adapts to different screen sizes and remains visible.
Margin or padding: Review the margin and padding values of the elements around the shopping cart. If there is excessive margin or padding, it can push the shopping cart beyond the boundaries of the container or the screen. Adjust the margin and padding values to create enough space for the shopping cart and prevent it from being cut off.

By considering these factors and making any necessary adjustments, you should be able to resolve the issue of the shopping cart getting cut off in the preview and published version of the website.
