Found a bug today

Came back to the megaton home to see this, all of my over or undersized items had reverted to original size. Let me give some context I’ve been doing a unique item run and part of that has been collecting over/undersized items. I finished up with everything of note in base game and moved on to dlc, got through point lookout and mothership just fine. While playing through the Pitt I ran into a bug while ascending in the steel mill I kept falling through the roof , I looked it up and it was a collision/mapping error. Easy fix was the restart and then clear my consoles cache. I did that and though nothing of it, finished dlc and go back to megaton to see that mess. On top of all items reverting size the theme I had reset and respawn all the original items I got with purchasing the theme ie whiskey bottles, clothing, tin cans, bottles all respawn on the shelfs. I tired reloading a prior save and the same thing as soon as I enter the megaton home everything reverts size. Does anyone have an idea why this happened, is it related to the console reset or did I do something else that reset my theme and that caused this. Can’t find anything related to this issue other than a thread from 5 years ago and the question wasn’t answered then.

Edit I’m on Xbox
