 Several WordPress admin screens display inconsistent responsive spacing,
 padding, and layout alignment issues on smaller mobile viewports.

 The issue is visible across multiple core admin pages including Site
 Health, Export, and Import screens, where containers and content sections
 appear visually unbalanced and difficult to scan on narrow screens.

 **Steps to reproduce:**
 1. Open WordPress admin on a mobile device or responsive browser mode
 2. Navigate to:
    - Tools → Site Health
    - Tools → Export
    - Tools → Import
 3. Observe spacing and alignment inconsistencies on smaller screen widths

 **Expected behavior:**
 Admin screens should maintain consistent horizontal spacing, balanced
 padding, and responsive alignment across smaller mobile viewports.

 **Actual behavior:**
 - Uneven left/right spacing
 - Inconsistent container alignment
 - Excessive empty spacing on some sections
 - Reduced readability and mobile admin usability

 **Environment:**
 - WordPress latest version
 - Chrome Mobile browser
 - Android device
 - Approx viewport width: 360px

 **Possible improvement:**
 - Standardize horizontal spacing on mobile admin screens
 - Improve responsive container alignment consistency
 - Reduce uneven padding on smaller viewports
