Hey everyone, I’m stuck on step 9 of this 471-piece Alaska Humpback Whale mini block set. I’ve been staring at these instructions for hours and I still can’t figure out where these pieces are supposed to go. At this point I’m not sure if I messed up an earlier step or if the instructions are just confusing. If anyone’s built this set before or can spot what I’m doing wrong from the pictures, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks!
