Holes appear between real and LOD chunks

getting closer loads the real chunks, but getting away does not create lod chunks there. it's happening both in singleplayer and multiplayer.

I have some mods installed but don't think any of them would cause this problem:
Cloth-Config
DistantHorizons
Enchanced Block Entities
Fabric Api
Falling leaves
iris
logical zoom
mod menu
plasmovoice
presence footsteps
sodium
sound physics remastered
indium
