As you can see in the image, there is a class that is outside of the extension code that I can manage, called extensions-video-overlay-size-container.

This container does not take up the full width of the video player

I saw other overlay extensions without this problem.

The video extension fits to the VIDEO in the black box.

Your video doesn’t go to the full width of the black box and thus your extension doesn’t

Second you just necored a post that is over a year old
