It means the whole idea of the design of your layout is wrong from the very beginning. The fixed-size designs are generally bad, and they are not easier then fluid design done with understanding.

Please see my past answer:
Zom Out malfunctions when Screen resolution changes[^].

This is some rudimentary code sample, only for System.Windows.Forms:
how to dock button so that it can adjust with the form[^].

There isn't a whole lot you can do. I would suggest that you go back and re-design your interface for a smaller base size!
Designing for the largest screen resolution you have is always going to give problems on smaller devices.
