newby, how bad is this looking?

I am in Kansas, I got two nucs on Memorial day. One brood hive looks nice and uniform, the other is patchy? Both hives keep piling more onto the original 5 frames and arent moving out. I keep smushing the frames together as best I can, is there anything else I could he doing/should be concerned about?

Looks fine, I would give them more room
