I have been doing your online introductory tutorial :
From Excel workbook to stunning report in Power BI Desktop - Power BY | Microsoft Learn
It has been quite infuriating. You need to explain some things better, and update the terminology used. People are genuinely looking at this for the first time.
I have recently downloaded the PowerBI Desktop app so am confident that I am using the latest version. This does not have a 'Fields' pane but a 'Data' pane. I kept looking for the 'Fields' pane, and it wasn't there!
You also need to explain the iconography used on the left hand side - the Report View, Table View, Model View etc. as this also was not made clear at the beginning, making it difficult to follow the tutorial steps.
When building the report, it says to drag and drop the Date and Profit fields into the blank canvas. They are therefore still on the canvas when the visualisations are added, so there is not enough space to extend the third graphic all the way along the bottom as on your illustration. Your illustration does not show these fields, where are they?
Please revisit this tutorial to make it more easy to follow.
