Unfortunately, it's not possible to please the Google gods at the moment. Also, those are just suggestions and don't make any real world impact on google listings from what i have read about it.
That's surprising that the current version of Salient doesn't support existing Google Search Console standards. Salient has been a dependable theme for a long time. If Google compliance is not on your fix list, may I please request it? What Google Search Console says REALLY DOES matter in terms of website rankings.
That being said, is there css that will make the mobile screen widths the accurate size so content is not off the screen?
Is there css that will add more space between mobile menu items?
The mobile friendly test will only wait a small amount of time before canceling any pending requests and moving to the results. It looks like you have many requests going on and are also blocking the googlebot via your robots.txt file (according to the mobile friendly test). You could help/correct the number of requests issue by enabling js/css minfication.

Thank you for the insights. They've been very helpful. It looks like I need special css for the blog page and blog posts to create a 15% margin on the left and right. Is that possible?

Hey XtraMark,
Those two issues are occurring because the Google mobile test is failing to finish loading the document stylesheets and thus providing you a result based on an unstyled page (see attached screenshot): https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly?utm_source=gws&utm_medium=onebox&utm_campaign=suit&id=kAqY3uL7bGIsIP3RUikKxA

XtraMark did this help? GSC is only showing it for 1 of my post pages.
Because it was only one page, I just created a disallow in htaccess.
Dang. Ok thanks for your reply.
