I have a Story Map within which I want to embed an Attachment Viewer web app. The web app looks great as standalone (first image), but when embedded the images at the left hand side are distorted (second image):
Is there any way to prevent this? It looks terrible.

@KatyAppleton1 -- Thanks for contacting us to report this issue you've encountered. This appears to be an issue with the Attachment Viewer app rather that StoryMaps.
If you open an AV app in its own browser tab and make the browser window more narrow, you can see that the thumbnail images on the left don't resize properly and look stretched as you've shown in your screenshot. You didn't provide the link to your app, but I found a similarly-configured public app on ArcGIS Online to test and included a screenshot below of what I observed.
I'll move this post to the Instant Apps board so that team can take a look.
As a workaround, I would recommend using the medium or large block size for the embed in your story since making the frame wider minimizes how stretched the images look when the app is embedded. If that isn't the look you are going for, you can always just link out to the AV app by configuring your embed as a card or adding a link to it in the text of your story so readers can open it in a new browser tab to get the full-page experience.
