Some monitors lie about their size to Linux. I got a 10" touchscreen that, for some reason, Linux thinks is a 27" monitor and sizes everything accordingly. Unless you have a specific reason to use the 9 inch monitor, I'd suggest something bigger. Most of my monitors are in the 19-22 inch range and come from Goodwill for $12-15 and generally work great on my RPis.
I'd try a larger monitor, if you can. If you are determined to use the 9" monitor, search for monitor size settings. Depending on the applications there are various ways to tell Linux what size your monitor is.

Good afternoon, everyone!!
Please let this Email message introduce me to you.? I'm Ernie Rader, W5NH, and I'm using a Raspberry Pi 400 that I've had for several months.? Within the last few days, I've installed Bullseye and HamClock on a 32 GB MicroSD card, and everything's working just fine.? What a great program!!
My question may seem a bit elementary to some, but I'm using a 9" HDMI monitor, and the GUI interface, the mouse cursor, the terminal window, and pop-up menus are so small that many times I have to use a magnifying glass to see them.? Where are the adjustments to make changes so these displays are readable?? I've been able to increase the size of the terminal window with about 25 itterations of Ctrl-Shift-+, which will fill the screen eventually, but I was hoping that this setting (each time the window is opened), along with the others mentioned above, could be set once and for all.
If anyone can point me in the right direction for this configuration, I would certainly appreciate your council.
73, Ernie, W5NH
