It’s possible that it’s still in recovery. Sometimes going from one extreme to the next can shock it. Cutting back too many leaves can also stress it. In this case I’d just make sure it has the right amount of light and let it be. It can bounce back but monsteras take a while to push out new growth. I’d recommend silica gold during each watering to help strengthen the leaves.

Hard to tell for sure, but that pot looks slightly large. May take too long to dry out. Heading for rot.
