Unfortunately, there are a lot of badly built books out there. Most will probably display OK, but some will trigger bugs, or have invalid code that won't display properly. These books are likely to display properly elsewhere. Some ebook reader apps are very forgiving of errors. But, the epub renderer on the Kobo devices is unforgiving of errors. If there are errors in the code, it will probably not display properly.

The only way to see for sure is to look at the code. Open it in the calibre editor and run the error check. Or find the bit that is missing in the book and see what that looks like. Or, let us see the book. If it is something freely downloadable, post a URL. Or post the book if it is legal to do so. Or, upload it to some private storage and PM me or someone else here a link to download it so we can look at it.
