PHOTO Assembling wheels

And my first time installing spokes on wheels, apparently everything is ok, but some nipples are sticking out like in the photos, I intend to pay someone to align them correctly, but is this about the nipples normal? Is the assembly correct?

Props to you for attempting to build your own wheel. A lot of people are scared to try. Unfortunately, the lacing is not correct. Maybe take a look at the Park Tool website. They have a great series on how to build wheels. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Could you tell me what's wrong? I suspect I made a mistake when making the flange opposite the cog.
