There are a few potential reasons why you may be experiencing overflow and white space on the right side of the mobile version of a webpage in Webflow. Here are some common causes to consider:

Fixed width elements:

Elements, such as containers or sections, with fixed dimensions may cause overflow and white space on smaller screens.
Review the widths and heights of elements within your design and ensure they are set to percentages or responsive units, such as VW or VH.

Margins and padding:

Excessive margins or padding on elements can cause overflow and white space.
Check the margins and padding of the elements on your page, and adjust them accordingly to ensure they fit within the available space.

Hidden or overflowing content:

If the content within an element is wider or taller than the element itself, it may cause overflow and white space.
Double-check the content within your elements, such as text, images, or videos, and make sure they are contained within their parent elements and do not exceed their dimensions.

Unused classes or styles:

Unused styles and classes can result in unexpected spacing issues.
Audit your project and remove any unused styles or classes to reduce the chances of conflicts and unintended spacing.

Viewport settings:

Improper viewport settings can cause the page to render incorrectly on mobile devices.
Make sure your viewport settings are correctly defined by adding a <meta> tag in the head section of your HTML code: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the overflow and white space problems on the mobile version of your Webflow webpage.

Additionally, it is always a best practice to preview your designs on multiple devices and screen sizes during the design process to catch any potential issues before publishing your website.
