Description
### System Information
Windows 10
### LMMS Version(s)
lmms-1.3.0-alpha.1 and master
### Most Recent Working Version
_No response_
### Bug Summary
Effect controls overlap plugin ui (see screenshot)

### Expected Behaviour
Here I moved lines 230-232 below line 246 in [VstEffectControlDialog.cpp](https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/blob/master/plugins/VstEffect/VstEffectControlDialog.cpp#L230) to make it more usable, but idk if it's correct solution:

### Steps To Reproduce
Add Serum-FX VST effect, click Controls

Research direction
Start in plugins/VstEffect/VstEffectControlDialog.cpp, especially around lines 230-246, and reproduce the issue by adding a Serum-FX VST effect and clicking Controls. Compare the current layout with the suggested line movement. Done means the effect controls no longer overlap the plugin UI on Windows 10.
