This indesign master page issue is extremely annoying and persistent

Question

So my issue is, whenever I try to add my master page to two pages, it applies them in a very weird manner.

Example, when I state "apply master page to page 3-4", it applies it to page 2, 3, and it repeats the first page on the 4th page.

This is extremely obnoxious and no matter what I do, I cannot get it to stop doing that.

I'm attaching files that show this issue. as well as some images to reproduce it if you'd like. I have a screenshot showing what happens when I use the apply master page. I also have two images attached as well as the indesign file.

If someone could help me with this, it would be fantastic. Thank you.

Your master pages are the problem I think.

So the left master page - that's callled verso

And the right master page - that's called recto

Verso pages are even page numbers

Recto pages are odd page numbers

When you're working in a spread - the master page spreads are Verso and Recto

When you apply the Left (verso) master page to a page it is adding that page as per traditional book making.

If you want - you can make a new Master page - and you can add the images in the opposite order - and then apply those Master pages to how you see fit.
