Puppet Warp is Cropping Parts of Layer

I am currrently trying to use the puppet warp tool to reposition a subject's arm and leg. Once I apply the puppet warp to the layer, it cuts off the subject's fingers and foot. I believe I am using the tool correctly. I made the layer a smart layer and applied about 6 pins. My image resolution is 24x32 at 300 dpi. Any ideas why this is happening?
I've attached a portion of my image so you can see what's going on...

Hi
Before and after looks the same to me

It's not a "before and after". It's a wide shot and a closeup of the same image. The fingers are cutoff (as seen in the closeup). The tool actually cuts off her rear heel on one of her feet as well, but I did not provide a zoomed image of that.

I just tested it with Photoshop version 23.2.2 on Windows 10 and I'm not seeing the issue

Can you share the PSD where this is happening? Use dropbox or CC files to share a download link.

Can I ask why is the image in Puppet Warp B&W while the other is in color? Are these on two layers with a clipping mask? If so, can we see the Layers panel?
Also, personally I would use more than six pins to "lock down" the parts I don't want to move.
You made a SO. If you click the eyeball to hide the Puppet Warp, how do the fingers look?

You can probably solve this by increasing the "Expansion" setting in the toolbar.

Hi there. Unfortunately, I cannot share the whole project because there are certain parts of it (not seen here) that cannot be released to the public. My company does not allow assets to be posted at this stage. I might be able to release a modified version of the project though. I will have to ask.

It is in black and white because I wanted to modify it a bit from the original before it was posted. I am under an NDA and should not be posting content from my company.

Ok, this did something. Expansion did seem to restore the tips of the fingers, but it distorted the pose in the process. I'm guessing this should be applied before posing?

Use more than six pins to "lock down" the parts you don't want to move.
At this point you might need to delete the current six points and start again. I think the default expansion is 2 pixels.

That is correct. First adjust the expansion and then you can start the warping.

Did you get an answer? It happens to me too!
