Why is the exam rejecting this script as incorrect?

Why is my CSS being rejected here? It keeps throwing up weird errors that seem to ignore the script ive written.

I am getting the errors on step 4 where it requests that I : “set the color stops position to 90%. Then add the value that sets the gradient from top to bottom. ”

.main-header {background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);}

I'm sure you've solved this by now, but looking at the challenge is it not as simple as reading the question wrong? I just completed it with the challenge from bottom to top, so it was merely changing the "to bottom", "to top".
