The X field is set to longitude, and Y field to latitude, the coordinate system and projection match the data frame, and I have taken out spaces in the csv file. However, when the points load, they project incorrectly and off and away from the rest of the map. Please, see the attached image and provide any suggestions and explanations for how to fix this.
