SmartArt graphic corrupting when attempting to add new branch

Hi all. I hope I'm posting in the correct place!
The Microsoft Tech team redirected me here after not being able to resolve my issue - would really appreciate your help, if possible! 
I'm using Powerpoint on my Mac and am attempting to add a third branch to '6. EMOTIONS' (seen here):


BUT, when I press Enter to create the third branch, I get this:


It did happen earlier when I was trying to resize some of the shapes, but I managed to resolve this myself but now I am getting nowhere at this point in the mind map.
Looking forward to hearing any ideas on how to resolve this. Thank you in advance 🙂

    Did you try Reset or Recreate the SmartArt Graphic?

    Reset the SmartArt Graphic

    Try resetting the SmartArt graphic to its default state:

    1. Select the SmartArt graphic
    2. Go to the Design tab
    3. Click on Reset Graphic in the Reset group

    Recreate the SmartArt Graphic

    If resetting doesn’t work, you might need to recreate the SmartArt graphic:

    1. Create a new SmartArt graphic
    2. Manually add the branches and text again
