Ploted graphs in tiled layout extends beyond figure

Hi all, the problem I have is pretty self-explanatory. I am trying to used tiledlayout in order to produce 5 plots as shown by the code below.

The problem is however, that the last three plots are extending outside the figure boundary for some reason.

clear ; clc

x = linspace(0,30);
y = sin(x/2);

[X,Y,Z] = peaks(20);

t1 = tiledlayout(3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact') ;
t2 = tiledlayout(t1, 1, 2, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact') ;
t3 = tiledlayout(t1, 3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact') ;
t3.Layout.Tile = 2 ;
t3.Layout.TileSpan = [2 3] ;

    % Plot top two figures
    nexttile(t2)
    contour(X, Y, Z)

    nexttile(t2)
    contour(X, Y, Z)

    title(t2, 'Common Title')
    xlabel(t2, 'Common xlabel')
    ylabel(t2, 'Common ylabel')

    % Plot bottom three figures
    nexttile(t3)
    plot(x, y)

    nexttile(t3)
    plot(x, y)

    nexttile(t3)
    plot(x, y)

    title(t3, 'Common title')
    xlabel(t3, 'Common xlabel')
    ylabel(t3, 'Common ylabel')

The reason I am particularly keen on using tiledlayout is because of the common legends and titles functionality.

Thanks for your help in advance.

The problem is that t1 has a layout of 3x1 but t3 which is nested in t1 is set to a span of 2x3.

t3.Layout.TileSpan = [2 3] ; % <----- problem

Change the span to [2,1]

x = linspace(0,30);
y = sin(x/2);
[X,Y,Z] = peaks(20);
t1 = tiledlayout(3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact') ;
t2 = tiledlayout(t1, 1, 2, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact') ;
t3 = tiledlayout(t1, 3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact') ;
t3.Layout.Tile = 2 ;
t3.Layout.TileSpan = [2 1] ;
    % Plot top two figures
    nexttile(t2)
    contour(X, Y, Z)
    nexttile(t2)
    contour(X, Y, Z)
    title(t2, 'Common Title')
    xlabel(t2, 'Common xlabel')
    ylabel(t2, 'Common ylabel')
    % Plot bottom three figures
    nexttile(t3)
    plot(x, y)
    nexttile(t3)
    plot(x, y)
    nexttile(t3)
    plot(x, y)
    title(t3, 'Common title')
    xlabel(t3, 'Common xlabel')
    ylabel(t3, 'Common ylabel')
