Dragged seamless pattern into swatch but its not filling properly

Hi,

Please bear with me as I am an AI novice! I have downloaded a seamless glitter pattern (vector) and would like to use it as a font fill. I have dragged it into my swatches but when I use it to fill there are strips missing?

Am I just being naive to think it is that simple or should I do something before I drag it into my swatches? The bottom square is what has downloaded, the top square and 2 x fonts are the result of the fill.

Any help would be much appreciated!

    Pattern might just need tightening up ?

    In the Swatches Panel double click on the swatch to open the pattern options panel

    Use the Pattern Tile Tool pointed to by red arrow, to adjust the control points- eg orange arrow

    Like here i'll move the point inwards to remove the white gaps
