I think you forgot to set the menu location. Below the menu (depending on the used theme) – right below that what your image shows are one or more checkboxes “Location in the theme”. Select the “primary” menu
If no menu location is selected, the fallback is to show every page in hierarchical order from left to right. I think this is what happens here.
