SplitContainer design vs run is different VB.NET VisualStudio

I've been struggling to figure this one out, therefore I figured it was time to finally ask you guys for assistance.

I've created a Visual Basic Win Form via Visual Studio to which I added multiple split containers to get different panels.

The issue that I'm having is that when I run the application, it looks different than what's in my design. I have recreated the project several times and have gone through the SplitContainer properties, however, I still can't figure this one out.

Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
