Can't place my tiles

[CurryNektar]

hi, its my second game and sometimes, i buy a piece and cant connect it with my palace. But there is a lot of space, sometimes its the first piece. But i need to cancel and take money, cause i cant connect it. Do i do something wrong?

It's hard to answer this question without a screenshot or link to a game so someone can see the situation.

You have to have a path back to the well. So you can't place a wall to wall if that's the only side connecting. Or is it a UI issue - when you select the piece purchased it shows all possible placements plus the reserve board. If there are no valid placements, then just the reserve board is selected as an option (red line around). If you don't have this then you haven't correctly selected the piece you've purchased (e.g. might have double clicked it)
