See how the rules apply

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

An important reminder

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
