FR120N-VB TO-252AA footprint

First I would like to apologize for my English, because I am using automatic translation.
I am projecting a circuit with the n-channel Mosfet FR120N-VB, whose encapsulation is the to-252AA. Your datasheet can be found at LCSC Electronics - Electronic Components Distributor 2010051735_vbsemi-elec-fr120n_c879050.pdf

I am currently using Kicad 9. As I did not find the component FR120N-VB, I used the generic symbol (nmos-n-tosfet transistor, drain/source/gate). The problem is Footprint. On the “Assign Footprint” screen, I selected Package_TO_Sot_SMD and filtered by 252. I visualized all the footprints and the nearest was the TO-252-2. All measurements are correct, but the position of the Dain, Source and Gate pins are wrong.
Is it possible to change this? If possible, could they teach me how to do this?

KiCad has generic symbols in all pin combinations. Looking at the datasheet you linked to, you need the Device / Q_NMOS_GDS The pin order is the same as the pin numbering, so just compare the footprint with the pin order from the datasheet. 1 = G, 2 = D, 3 = S.

Indeed, using this other component seems to be correct. The component I used was a bit different (nmos-n-tosfet transistor, drain/source/gate). Using this other component and choosing the TO-252-2 as the footprint, the final result looked like the following figure:

Thank you very much for your help
