Don't organs have to be of a similar size, so same sex and same age?

No; there is a singer called Angelica Hale who received a kidney from
her mother at age 4.

And a liver can be cut up and a part implanted if it's cut in the right
way, taking into account the blood vessels and ducts.

The partial liver I can understand, but how did the kidney physically
fit? Or did they install just the one, sideways?

People have a kidney transplant when both fail, and only have one
transplanted, as that's all anyone needs: if necessary it grows to a
required size.

But can it go sideways? Otherwise a large one won't fit in a small body.

There is likely room for it.

Not an expert but I doubt it... except maybe in extreme cases. An adults would
