it’s very common issue that after theme or plugin update you have some problems on site. In 95% it’s because you have cache system on site. So, when you update theme, it will have another code for modules, but css and other static files are the same as early (because they are cached), this can create incompatibilities.
So, you need to clean whole cache on site after any update, change or customization.
Problem is that many hostings also have inner cache system, so, I will show most common cases.
