Icon too big to easily see file modification date in Mojave

Hi:

Definitely a "1st world problem", but with a recent upgrade (I think to Mojave), when I navigate to a file in the finder one sees a huge icon but the modification date (which is what I am interested in) is off the bottom of the window and not visible, like this:

To see the modification date, one has to grab the folder resize or scroll window to get to the date:

Doesn't matter what kind of file it is.

Is there a method to show the modification date "front and centre" when one first navigates to the file to save the extra step?

Thank you very much!!!
