Guided Access

How do I trouble shoot guided access. When I start guided access it doesn’t allow me to make the whole screen gray. When I triple click the lock button to adjust, or end guided access, the movie movies to the far right bottom, and i’m only allowed to adjust the grayed out area on one side of the screen.
