Recessed can light fixture has an extremely long cylinder

Hi everyone,

 

I'm fairly new to Revit and have a problem that I can't figure out at all.  The standard Revit downlight recessed can light fitting for some reason has an extremely elongated cylinder which pierces through then the ceiling, floors, and roofs, etc. This appears in all views except for the plan views.  Initially, I thought it may be the light source symbol length, which I  reduced and still had no effect.  When you open the family for editing it all appears normal. So I was wondering how I can get rid of this because this doesn't seem right.

 

I've posted some images as well. 

 

As I said I'm fairly new to Revit so if you break down any solutions as simply as possible that would really be helpful.

It is mainly the Shade/Glass element...not constrained properly (opening cut also revised to suit compound ceilings) ... See Gif Below

Attached is also the revised 2022 Family
