SectionList.scrollToLocation not scrolling to section with itemIndex: 0

Description

When using the SectionList.scrollToLocation method with itemIndex: 0, the SectionList does not scroll to the expected section. The scroll works when itemIndex is set to 1. No errors are logged, and the onScrollToIndexFailed callback is never triggered.

Steps to reproduce

https://snack.expo.dev/@markwitt/sectionlist

1.	Create a SectionList with multiple sections and items with varying heights (see the code example below).
2.	Add a button that calls scrollToLocation with parameters sectionIndex: 1 and itemIndex: 0 to scroll to the second section (e.g., “Vegetables”).
3.	Press the button and observe that the list does not scroll to the desired section.
4.	Change itemIndex to 1 and notice that the scrolling occurs as expected.

import React, { useRef, useMemo } from 'react';
import { SectionList, Text, View, Button } from 'react-native';

// Function to generate sections with a specified number of items per section
const generateSections = () => {
 const createItems = (prefix, count) => {
   return Array.from({ length: count }, (_, i) => ({
     label: `${prefix} ${i + 1}`,
     // Random height between 50 and 150
     height: 50 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 100),
   }));
 };

 return [
   { title: 'Fruits', data: createItems('Fruit', 15) },
   { title: 'Vegetables', data: createItems('Vegetable', 15) },
   { title: 'Grains', data: createItems('Grain', 15) },
 ];
};

export default function App() {
 const sectionListRef = useRef(null);
 // useMemo to generate sections only once on mount
 const sections = useMemo(() => generateSections(), []);

 const scrollToSection = () => {
   if (sectionListRef.current) {
     sectionListRef.current.scrollToLocation({
       sectionIndex: 1, // "Vegetables" section
       itemIndex: 0,    // Using 0 does not scroll; using 1 works correctly
     });
   }
 };

 return (
   <View style={{ flex: 1, paddingTop: 40 }}>
     <Button title="Scroll to Vegetables" onPress={scrollToSection} />
     <SectionList
       ref={sectionListRef}
       sections={sections}
       keyExtractor={(item, index) => item.label + index}
       renderItem={({ item }) => (
         <View
           style={{
             height: item.height,
             justifyContent: 'center',
             borderBottomWidth: 1,
             borderColor: '#ccc',
           }}
         >
           <Text style={{ padding: 10 }}>
             {item.label} (Height: {item.height})
           </Text>
         </View>
       )}
       renderSectionHeader={({ section: { title } }) => (
         <Text
           style={{
             padding: 10,
             fontWeight: 'bold',
             backgroundColor: '#eee',
           }}
         >
           {title}
         </Text>
       )}
     />
   </View>
 );
}````

Start with the SectionList.scrollToLocation implementation and the linked Snack reproducer, comparing sectionIndex: 1 with itemIndex: 0 versus 1 on iOS under React Native 0.76.7. Trace how the target section is resolved for itemIndex: 0 and verify the fix against the reported case, with the second section scrolling into view without regressions.
