cannot reproduce this on neither Safari on iPhone nor Mac. Could you try on the demo instance? https://demo.immich.app/photos.

Also could you upload the/one video you have issues with.

I can confirm this occurs when the content completely fills the window (aspect ratio of video/browser window affects this) both on the demo instance as well as my own instance running v. 2.3.1. Video format: .MOV H265 Dolby Vision, shot iPhone 15 Pro (probably irrelevant). If the "Go back-arrow" was moved down 5% the issue might be fixed.

Video files are too big to upload, see below YT-links for description of the issue:
