Looks like your using a page and embedding a classic page, or your using the list web part, which doesn't really work well for photo library. You have to use the direct link to a view for the photo library to get the proper experience. Have you looked at maybe using the image gallery webpart and pointing at the library? It probably won't have folders etc. thou would most likely be the issue.

  I would recommend modern UI for your photo library, the limited screenshot view looks like your still in some kind of classic view adding webparts to a page to me? The modern UI photo library is much better experience. If you go to Site contents, then navigate to the library, can you screenshot that whole screen?
  
  If should look more like this if it's modern UI.
