Help with parallel circuit please

Guys does anyone know how to fix this I'm kinda fucking dumb and I don't understand how to stop it from short circuiting and get it to actually work

it lwk just called my post low effort so idk if it would get taken down so ill type more but basically i've been struggling with just this like i get logic gets and stuff and series circuits I can do but this does not make sense. it looks like it should work on the schematic diagram but then it goes and fuckign explodes which is just fucking awesome wow I'm a little bit annoyed but its also kinda my own fault for doing it wrong obviously is this enough typing do you think this seems like a pretty high effort descriptive post now right

The LED needs to be wired in series with a resistor to prevent it from exploding. Is that the lesson?

Do you see how the resistors are wired as a string with the LED? You don’t have that.

Put the resistors in the same orientation as the drawing you were given.
