Working with Geodirectory short codes no columns

Hi. I installed Elementor on my site and wanted to have four or five columns. I tested with four.

I placed various items in the columns. geodirectory short codes, I tried text and icons.

There is only one column. All assets are vertically aligned to the left. There are no other columns except one.

I have spend many hours trying to get this to work including turning off all plugins except Geodirectory
