3D packages are bigger than PCB footprints.

How to reproduce it:
Convert any LCSC component, for example C319164.
./fetchComponent.py fetchlcsc --kicadLib test.pretty --force C319164
The output test.3dshapes contains bigger models than the PCB footprints.
Workaround:
Set scale 0.4 for each axis in KiCad. (Pcbnew - Footprint Properties - 3D Settings - Scale)

This is an issue on the LCSC/EasyEDA side
Some of their STEP models are scaled so that 1 unit = 1 inch, KiCad expects 1 unit = 1cm
You'll find the actual scale you want to use is 1 / 2.54 or 0.3937007874 (I usually just do 0.3937)
