Monitor View Area Height

My monitor's View Area Height is approximately 330mm/13". I do not have space in my tool bar after installing AG. But you have enough space. What is your monitor's View Area Height?

What's the resolution of your monitor, and what setting are you using in Preferences > User Interface > UI Scaling?

What is your Windows scaling setting? I.e:

On my work PC (which runs a pair of 1080p resolution monitors) the Scale setting under Windows' Scale and Layout is 100%. I attached a screen shot of how Adobe Illustrator looks on that system with all the extra goodies from Astute Graphics added to the tool bar. There is still a decent amount of blank space at the bottom of the tool bar. Scale settings above 100% should be used only when running monitors that are well above regular HD resolution.

Try changing the scale setting to 150% or lower and check the Illustrator preferences again.

It's set to 1920x1080 pixels and like Doug I suspect the settings for the icon sizes.

I cannot find any changes by changing this. What is this?

It sets the position of the arrows of the Illustrator window's scroll bars.
