If you have Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox, then you can use betarnd(): https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2020a/stats/betarnd.html
a = 0.23;
b = 0.33;
x = betarnd(a, b, 1, 100000);
histogram(x, 'Normalization', 'pdf')

as you can see that horizontal axis is limited to 0.4 to 1.2 and whole distibution is defined in it.

Try this.
a = 0.23;
b = 0.33;
l = 1;
u = 3.3;
x = rescale(betarnd(a, b, 1, 100000), l, u);
histogram(x, 'Normalization', 'pdf')
