Can someone please tell my why I can't make the left column only as wide as the tiles are? Why is it at least three time as wide. I want to use this as a sidebar, for navigation on every page, and all other cards freely aranged right to it, but no matter what kind of dashboard I try, i struggle. Thanks

Change your grid width but I don’t think you can go below 1 which will give you one row of full width or 2 columns of half width.

Thanks Chris. You mean inside the card or inside the dashboard page?

Possibly both. Idk

I'm assuming you're trying to make a navigation sidebar. I don't think you're going to achieve the layout that you're trying to design with Sections View. Even with the smallest grid width, it will still be too wide. You might be able to fiddle with it and get something to kinda work, but, IMO, it won't be a pleasant experience and may not look the way you want. Sections View is meant for "quick & easy" layouts; yours is not. (It is but not by using Sections.)
I'd suggest looking into using the layout-card. I posted some information in another thread that I won't repeat here, but check it out: #1485016211472519281 message
I'd also suggest the forum thread: Custom Layout Card - Grid layout. Please help. It is an older thread but the information is still sound. In that thread, DeltaNu1142's posts (#5 & #7) are similar to what you're trying to achieve.

Thanks @tacit star In the meantime and with the help from gemini and claude I managed to make a nice sidebar, which indeed is based on grid_layout. Grid layout was my go to approach for visual reasons anyway.
This is what the bar looks like now on each of the 6 pages. Perfectly happy with it.
