Custom section disable when grid product view over 24 items

Hey!

I have a Shopify store with a custom theme. I created a custom section for the collection page template that includes the top circle images with sub-collection items dynamic from collection to collection. The strange thing is that if I change the product view from the default to 36, 48, or more items, this custom section disappears

The theme was developed by a former enterprise and haven’t been able to figure out what is happening. Any ideas?
