Please read the damn study. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039 https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039
Essentially, twice as many teenage girls said IG made them feel better as said it made them feel worse.
That doesn't suggest that IG is a large problem for teenage girls (note that this was also a very small sample, because it was qualititative research).
Like FB have done a bunch of things I don't agree with over the years, but reading the actual documents that the WSJ used for their files is revealing in terms of what they did and didn't include.
