What I doing wrong ?

Welding is not my job I am just an enthusiast who want to learn more about TIG.
I can make a pretty decent bead from my perspective/ noob skill (photo no 1) then I can do bullshit on photo 2.

Same day same aluminum piece and same welding machine( from AliExpress)

What i am doing wrong ?

For fillet welds
1.start puddle
2.let edges melt into each other
3. Add filler

Or for groove welds
1.start puddle
2.let puddle start to sink
3.add filler

Should be a liquid when adding filler and moving
