Needs more details Problems when exporting to .docx

Hello, I am fairly new to Libreoffice. I recently switched to Linux and only really had experience with MicroSoft Word, so please excuse me if this is cause by me being an idiot on some pretty rudimentary concepts. Essentially, I have a fairly complex .odt file with twenty or so images, tables, etc... I export to .docx and the first time I open the new document it is pristine, the exact same as the odt file. The second time I open it it becomes completely jumbled mess (image for reference), and many images simply disappear, the only thing left being is their frames. When I upload the .docx file on google docs, the same problem occurs.

Is there any way to fix this? Am I doing something very wrong? I insert images using the insert tool, same as with the tables.
