Query regarding WCAG 2.2 - 2.5.8 - Target size Minimum Level AA

Hi All,

I have a query regarding this WCAG criteria 2.5.8 - Target size Minimum
Level AA
where it expects the target size to be a min. of 24*24 pixels with some
exceptions.

There is a small close button on a pop up dialog that gets triggered in a
grid when activated a three dot menu on the column and measures about 12*12
px but does not have any targets nearby.

Does this fail this criteria or is good with the exception which says -

- *Spacing:* Undersized targets (those less than 24 by 24 CSS pixels)
are positioned so that if a 24 CSS pixel diameter circle is
centered on the bounding
box
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/target-size-minimum.html#dfn-minimum-bounding-box>
of
each, the circles do not intersect another target or the circle for another
undersized target;

Thanks in advance!
