There is no One Code to rule them all. You need to trace the code affecting the bad item.
Both Calibre and Sigil are EPUB editors.
They have a Jump to link or style functionality, that usually takes you right to the piece of CSS that is being used.
CSS typically sets Margins, font face and size, indent
The average novel is pretty basic HTML /CSS
It is the fixed layout books that get trickier, because you now control everything.

Even if it's a specific book, without looking at the code it's impossible to know what causes this behavior. Often converting to mobi and then converting the mobi to epub/azw3 will get rid of excess bloat; it can also mess up the formatting, which is why I don't use this method myself, but in your case it probably wouldn't hurt to try.
Only be sure that if you convert the mobi the second time, it's actually the mobi being converted and not the original format, else it's pointless.

So I tested several AZW3 files, and apparently I think the problem was that I downloaded AZW3 first from library genesis which has the bugs. The AZW3 files that didn’t have the bugs were those I converted to from MOBI first, those may be the cause of why the few ebooks in AZW3 I had didn’t work properly for a bit. Can anyone else confirm this?

- More kinds of print replica / PDF like content. Proper AZW3/KF8 is basically similar to epub2.
- Needed for markup / Sticky notes on Scribe.
The visual advantages seem marginal. So unless you are using a Scribe converting to AZW3/KF8 is best as it's also difficult to create KFX without Amazon tools and thus very awkward on Linux. Only 4 old Kindles don't support AZW3. More don't support KFX.
I use AZW3 to test before uploading epub2 to Amazon to publish. Most fiction is now uploaded as epub2, though docx and doc are accepted (but not as good).
I also only buy Amazon ebooks that will download without KFX or fixed layout mobi/azw, most are AZW3/KF8, but some very old titles (very few) download to PC as mobi/KF7.
My "master" format in Calibre is epub. Master source is odt, with an extra temp docx for calibre import.
PDF only for upload to POD, or if the document arrived as PDF. Only paper or clay tablets are worse to convert.a

Based on what you guys said KFX sounds like a scam then, right?
