Why do my georeferenced images not line up correctly with one another? QGIS 3.4.2
After georeferencing these 3 images onto my basemap (openstreetmap) they do not line up (see how the white lines are mismatching). Why is this the case and how can I solve this problem?

I made sure that when georeferencing I referenced at least 4 points on the basemap. It seems that the images get compressed or expanded, but I do not see why?
I tried alignment tool in QGIS 3.4.2 but this did not work.

Did you check the residuals after georeferencing? Did you repeat georeferencing?

4 points is likely not enough either, especially if the sources are from varying projection systems.

They are two possibilities (or maybe more):
- The chosen points are too close. ->Choose points in each corner of the image.
- You didn't choose the same coordinates system with the three images. ->See the coordinates of the points, if they are too different, the coordinates systems are possibly different too.

another possibility is that the images are not orthorectified and have lot of distortion
