The easy fix would be to increase the spacing between the icon buttons.

In net.minecraft.client.gui.screens.PauseScreen#createPauseMenu, change

LinearLayout iconButtonRow = LinearLayout.horizontal().spacing(4);

to

LinearLayout iconButtonRow = LinearLayout.horizontal().spacing(8);

After changing:

The button in the pause menu checks whether there are any reportable players before enabling itself, so it seems likely that the keybind isn't intended to work.

net.minecraft.client.gui.screens.PauseScreen

List<Entry<UUID, PlayerInfo>> list = this.minecraft
    .player
    .connection
    .getSeenPlayers()
    .entrySet()
    .stream()
    .filter(entry -> entry.getKey() != this.minecraft.player.getUUID())
    .toList();
if (list.isEmpty()) {
    playerReportingButton.active = false;
    playerReportingButton.setTooltip(NO_PLAYERS_TO_REPORT_TOOLTIP);
}

There currently isn’t any check in net.minecraft.client.gui.Gui#handleKeybinds, which would explain the inconsistent behavior.

while (options.keySocialInteractions.consumeClick()) {
			if (!this.minecraft.isMultiplayerServer() && !SharedConstants.DEBUG_SOCIAL_INTERACTIONS) {
				this.chatListener.handleOverlay(SOCIAL_INTERACTIONS_NOT_AVAILABLE);
				this.minecraft.getNarrator().saySystemNow(SOCIAL_INTERACTIONS_NOT_AVAILABLE);
			} else {
				if (this.socialInteractionsToast != null) {
					this.socialInteractionsToast.hide();
					this.socialInteractionsToast = null;
				}

				this.setScreen(new SocialInteractionsScreen());
			}
		}
