Vertical Thumbnails for Videos

The website builder does not allow you to use vertical thumbnails for videos shot in short format 9x16.
all my clients videos are in shorts format and the majority of content nowadays is shorts. So it feels outdated to not be able to upload a vertical thumbnail to match the video when they play.
As it stands you have to use a horizontal thumbnail and then when they click the video the entire page moves because it's a vertical video and it's a bad experience for the user

Sorry I'm late to the party, here is how I solved it.
I used custom embed
<video width="315" height="560" controls autoplay playsinline <!-- ensures it can play inline on mobile, etc. --> > <source src="local file path goes here"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video>
I hope this works for y'all, this was driving me nuts.
The only issue is centering, can anyone help with centering the video in the container other than using padding or margin?
