Layout errors with placeholder UIImageView instances

Getting layout errors when trying to add constraints to the placeholder images to the Playlists view.

See photo to see the orange/red boxes that show up. I'm following the videos exactly.

If you try to update the frames, the images are resized to the actual image size unless you use "Placeholder" in Size Inspector > Intrinsic Views.

Does anyone know how to resolve these issues?

Maybe this has to do with an updated version of XCode and Swift but unless you specify the top and bottom constraints with the middle placeholder images, you will get these errors/warnings.

Once those have been specified and the Equal Height/Equal Width boxes are checked, everything works.
