=> yes, as explained in the ARM the netmask is one of the options
directly managed by Kea so it can't be configured.

quoting it from the sources:

=> if it can't be configured it still can be overwritten using the
flex_option hook (I wonder if it is not the most changed option in
DHCPv4? :-) so the response will have the value you want instead
the value deduced from the config.

PS: please share the flex_option config so the next person who will have
a similar problem can save time (the question is not whether but when :-).
