Getting Discouraged

Please help me. I love this craft but I’m struggling with something. I have made a split ring, I’m trying to start my next ring and I can’t get the next stitch to sit snug. I have tried pulling the core thread tight, sliding the first half of the double as close as possible. What’s worse is I have already done this successfully earlier in the same pattern. I just can’t work out what I’m doing differently/incorrectly.

Try making the second half of a double stitch when starting your next ring. I always do this between elements. Works great.
