Projecting to a sphere

Hello. I’m trying to project an image to a sphere, I’ve followed a couple of tutorials on YouTube, however when it comes to adding the image to the sphere it distorts the image, its breaking it up to the individual surfaces of the the sphere, I’ve tried to alter the size of the image but this doesn’t seem to work, it’s as if it won’t spread or wrap the entire sphere. Annoyingly everyone seems to be able to achieve this on YouTube using the exact same method i’m using. What am I missing here?

Thanks

Fredo6’s ThruPaint (Part of the FredoTools suite ) would also be a good option.
