For what reason can the height of a fitted distribution be much has higher than the real data it was fitted on? Does it just mean that the distribution does not fit the data or that I have too few data? I have attached a photoenter image description here

You are not plotting the histogram of the data in the probability scale. Compare for instance:

hist(rnorm(1000))

against

hist(rnorm(1000), probability =T)
