Issues with Task 3 of Grouping Content Challenge in HTML Basics

I'm not sure if I have a syntax error or if I've mixed an element up. The question asks me to place the h2 element and the article elements between (what I'm pretty sure) is supposed to be the main element. But when I do that it gives me a bummer. Could someone help me out and show me what I'm doing wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Blog</title>

Hi Zachary,

I think the challenge probably shouldn't have allowed you to pass task 2 which ends up causing a problem for you in task 3.

You did task 3 correctly but task 2 had instructed you to put the <aside> element around the the social media heading and links. This occurs right before the footer. If you move the aside to that section then you should be able to pass.

You currently have it around the header element.

You're welcome. I've let the staff know about the problem so that they can look into it.
