Flex Column forcibly hides the initial items of the flexbox - css

Question

I have a Sidebar which is built using FlexBox column layout as shown below:
.SideBarContainer {
// flex-grow: 1;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
// display: flex;
// flex-direction: column;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-evenly;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
font-family: $font-family;
}
And looks like:
This is when I comment out flex layout (ideally which I want to keep). But when I enable flex layout as shown below:
.SideBarContainer {
// flex-grow: 1;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-evenly;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
font-family: $font-family;
}
for some reason it forces the image to be shifted to top and it can't be scrolled to the view:
One way would be to get rid of flexbox and somehow align the items to center but I am more interested in understanding how can I achieve the same with FlexBox and what exactly it is that's pushing the image to cut off when flexbox is applied.

I have created this html code and CSS for you:
.main {
width: calc(100%/3 + 60px);
font-family: 'Jost', sans-serif;
}
.SideBarContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.name {
margin: 0;
font-size: 30px;
}
.desig {
color: #bcbcbc;
font-weight: 600;
}
.profile-img {
border-radius: 100%;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
object-fit: cover;
}
.btn {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #000000;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 16px;
padding: 4px 20px;
margin: 10px 0;
width: fit-content;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 20%);
}
.btn.dark {
background-color: #000;
color: #f3ff26;
text-transform: capitalize;
font-weight: 400;
font-size: 18px;
width: calc(100% - 60px);
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 20%);
}
<div class="main">
<div class="SideBarContainer">
<img src="https://via.placeholder.com/150x150" class="profile-img" />
<h6 class="name">Rampy sharma</h6>
<span class="desig">Individual Singer</span>
