Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• [folding] show folding actions at the end of folding range as well (#60670)
• Code folding doesn't work with blocks with preprocessor macros (C++) (#66404)
• [folding] Move line up/down should skip over folded regions or folded sections (#63972)

I think this article may explain what you're seeing:

Folding ranges are by default evaluated based on the indentation of lines. A folding range starts when a line has a smaller indent than one or more following lines, and ends when there is a line with the same or smaller indent.

Since the 1.22 release, folding ranges can also be computed based on syntax tokens of the editor's configured language. The following languages already provide syntax aware folding:

Markdown, HTML, CSS, LESS, SCSS and JSON

What language is your file being handled as?

So your issue is probably a duplicate of #66404. That has been closed with a reference to microsoft/vscode-cpptools#407. Unless the Language Server VSCode is using for your C files gets enhanced to implement a FoldingRangeProvider the best you can expect from VSCode is indent-based folding.
