Distortion when exporting

Hello, 

When I export a selection my result is totally distorted. I can't believe this!! Both the PNG and JPG exports result in the same distortion. It's a simple dotted circle that I created using a stroke and using the dash and gaps to created the dots. 
when I export it the dots are totally distorted. 

I'm on a tight deadline to get this to the client and I can't send them THIS!! 
it's 2021, Adobe!!! what on earth! 

I've attached screenshots of what it should look like and how it comes out after export. 

Please any help?
