Horizontal Recyclerview: setting custom item width is creating issues

Question

Dont know whether there's an issue with my code or the recyclerview itself, but whenever I'm trying to populate a new list to the recyclerview, it auto scrolls itself to the top of the index. This does not happen when I set the items' width to MATCH PARENT, only if I am setting a custom width to the itemviews, this strange bug happens.I also tried using notifyItemRangeChanged or notifyItemChanged, but unfortunately nothing seems to work.

val layoutManager = LinearLayoutManager(context, LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL, false)
recyclerViewSubscriptions.layoutManager = layoutManager
recyclerViewSubscriptions.adapter = subscriptionAdapter
subscriptionAdapter?.setData(subscriptionList, true, null, false)

Adapter setData code:

fun setData(
    users: MutableList<SubscribtionListItem>?,
    hideButtons: Boolean,
    activeSubscriptionType: Int?,
    isPendingRequest: Boolean,
    isPlanReplaced: Boolean = false,
    standardPlanDuration: Int = 0
) {
    this.subscribtionListItem = users
    notifyDataSetChanged()
}
