Protractor: Window Size affects the size navigation, how to still look for the side navigation?

I am running a protractor tests that tries to click on one of the links on the side navigation.

Whenever I run these set of tests on a VM that runs all the tests it fails, with error meesage

UnknownError: unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (-140, 526)

My theory is that the side navigator gets hidden when the window is too small, because of its responsive nature.

Is there a way to find that link from the hidden side nav that got hidden from window being too small?
