It's the same as #1664 @masperber - I think that one shouldn't have been closed in the first place, but let's keep this one for future tracking.

That said, Cubic is a very old theme who had a lot of issues with Tiled/Masonry components, so it's unlikely to be fixed soon. Please set expectations with the customer and explorer other options like a theme switch or a different gallery layout.

I have a similar issue on this ticket: 8350521-zen

It automatically displays the gallery in full width, and the images are scattered everywhere. Please see a preview of the issue below:

It seems like it's not only affecting the "Tiled Gallery" block, but also "Masonry Gallery", "Gallery," and alike.
