Why are my mochi's tearing apart?

Once i roll the mochis to fill it with a cream based filling, i noticed that the rolled circles are not always even. Some of them have tiny uneven pockets which later end up tearing once filled.

Additionally, sometimes when rolling the mochis out, there tends to be tiny holes in them.
