A closer look at one example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Keep this in mind
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
