Like, why isn't the water spreading properly?
Minecraft. Minecraft never changes.
(Except for when it does. Liquid behaviors have been less-than-perfectly-intuitive from the start though.)

Minecraft sometimes changes. Liquid behavior has changed once about 15 years ago
I recently watched a 45 minute video on exploiting the game's event system to create redstone "wireless" receivers and transmitters.
Water physics are only the beginning of Minecraft's deep weirdness.
It looks like you've got a hole in the floor. When the water flows, it's sorta like lightning: it opts to take the path of least resistance to get to a lower elevation. So if there is any elevation drop in a given direction, it will flow only in that direction, rather than spread evenly.
Yeah, that worked.
Water goes towards holes in the floor below it, so if a hole is too close, the water won't spread. I see one behind the water next to the wall. Fill that hole and any others you find, and it should spread out.
Default water behavior is to flow to a lower elevation if possible. It only spreads evenly if there isn't a lower elevation it can reach.
