Any way to make the title of the video in the homepage smaller? Mine is SUPER BIG and would cut off if they have 40+ characters.

Also from that screenshot, the channel picture and the three dot were not where they are normally.

Talking about channel picture and 3-dot icon - as for me they are on their normal places. Screenshot here shows the homepage with my script off and on - everything is okay. I have no idea why they are shifted for you. Do you use any other script which amends UI of Youtube?

If you think the video title is too big, I can add a setting to tune it's size.

No, i don't have it right now. The only other thing that has to do with YouTube for me is the sponsorblock extension.

Here is how they look to me on/off (The "on" pic is with default setting)

I see. For some reason my script does not impact video title and icons position at your homepage. Now I tried my script in Firefox, Chrome and Opera and it works normally. The only reason I can imagine is that your CSS code is different. In order to solve this issue I need your help. Please do the following steps:
1. Right click on video title and select "Inspect" in the popup menu.
2. Right click on the highlighted line of the code and select "Copy - CSS Path" in the popup menu.
3. Send me the copied path.

Repeat these steps for the channel icon and 3-dot icon.

I don't know what happened, but it's working now...

Do you still need what you asked?

No, if the script works then your homepage now has the same structure as mine, so there is no need to provide me with CSS paths.

Maybe Youtube tested some new features, who knows. They like to change the code all the time :)
