  • you need to make it clear how the LCD is connected and, most importantly, which LCD you are using ... right now, all we know which pins are connected at the ESP32 ... we know nothing else ... also, you have not asked a question about the problem

  • the PCF8574T is an IC that is part of the LCD ... it is an I2C bus expander ... which component is used in the display module has no bearing on the connector pinout of the LCD module

You can run the PCF8574 on 5V and the EXP on 3V3 just be sure the I2C is pulled up to the 3V3 and NOT the 5V. I do this a lot and have never had a problem. The reason it works is the bus is driven by open collector/drain drivers which do not source any voltage.
