Menu bar does not show all icons

On a MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021), not all icons are shown when running programs. How do I see the docker app icon, it is running but the icon is not visible

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.4

docker is controlled through an icon in the menu, and I see it on an old MacBook pro 13. But the camera cutout on the 14 MacBook divides the menu into two parts and icons do not appear on the left side.

You only have so much room up there. Remove less valuable menubar item to make room for your application of choice.

Use the Command key if necessary to drag off menu items or re-arrange them.

Not all running apps put an icon in the menu bar. For instance, MS Office apps don't; neither does Firefox. I'm sure there are many more. Safari either for that matter.
