Resizing cover automatically created from metadata

Hi!

I'm having some trouble resizing automated covers from Generate Cover (I haven't used it to create my own setting, just the plugin's original settings, as far as I can remember), please.

When I add an epub file from AO3 to Calibre, it automatically creates a cover using the metadata info, which is great.

However, I find the size of the book details preview too small. I'd like to increase the font size or %. But I've tried poking at the settings and cannot seem to find where to go to resize the covers

I've found the image dimension tweaks, and the specific author/title/series field fonts, but how would I change the font/size before the auto-generated cover image from the metadata is created?

I've had the same trouble with the FanficFare plugin, which I got help with and updated the plugin personal.ini when we went from Calibre 5 to 6 and I added the
Code:
titlepage_start:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
 <head>
 <title>${title} by ${author}</title>
 <link href="stylesheet.css" type="text/css" charset="UTF-8" rel="stylesheet"/>
 <!-- meta name="calibre-html-render-data" content='{"size": "A6", "margins": [5, 0, 5, 0]}'/ -->
 </head>
 <body style="font-size: 2.4vmax; margin: 2vmax;">
 <h3><a href="${storyUrl}">${title}</a> by ${authorHTML}</h3>
 <div>
info, which got me the view readable in the book details panel.

I'd like to do something similar straight into Generate Cover, but I can't find where I could input info so the auto-created cover from the metadata would be tweaked.

Thank you!
