PR Follow up for small screens: Widgets & Stats are not shown for normal window in small screen

[MadhaviSeelam]

Description

Found while testing brave/brave-core#24682. The testing mainly done via external monitor and passed the PR. Responsiveness for NTP worked as expected for the sizes that were mentioned in the PR. However, if I moved normal window from external monitor to 14" laptop screen, widgets, stats are not shown

Steps to reproduce

1. Installed 1.70.11
2. launched Brave
3. opened new tab page in an external monitor
4. verified stats, top sites, widgets, search widget etc are shown as expected
5. move the window to 14" screen (or launch NTP independently in 14" screen)

I don't see stats or widgets/cards on this screen size which could be confusing for a user since under "Customize" these appear to be enabled:

@MadhaviSeelam does this happen when you change the screen size without reloading? I didn't quite get that

[LaurenWags]

@aguscruiz fwiw when I encounter this on my macOS laptop (13 in M1 from 2020) resizing the window does not help. I only see stats/widgets once I go completely full screen. Just resizing my window to be bigger does not help.

I reproduced by resizing the window.
