My seamless pattern is showing up as tiles

[Ursula25238331teiz]

Hi guys, so im not a pro in Illustrator however i have designed a few patterns to date. The issue im having which for the life of me i cannot seem to fix is when i create a pattern and move it to swatches when i draw it in a shape (rectangular shape) its not seamless but comes up as multiple tiles instead of one seamless pattern. I did not use pattern maker i do it manually. Hope someone can help. TIA

These old tutorials are still around.

Use the pattern editing mode instead. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/how-to/create-pattern.html

A screenshot is much clearer than taking a picture of your screen.
