Mainly they want you to group the two h3/p parings in article tags and the social media links in an aside tag, and of course, all that should be inside the main tag, including the h2 tag.
This passes all three tasks:

Sometimes the instructions of the challenge are not always worded optimally and so sometimes picturing exactly what they are wanting you to do can be difficult. Sometimes I have to Google someone else's challenge solution before I even understand the instructions!?! LOL
I hope that helps.
Stay safe and happy coding!
