Area of Effect API

Hi there!  I'm trying to set up some spells for my players and the first one I tried was "Spike Growth". I uploaded an image, I set the size of the effect. I drew a line from origin to the effect, saved it. Then I did a test to see if I could cast it. It does everything right except the area of effect image is suddenly shrank to the size of one square/box, rather than the 20' radius of Spike Growth.  Thoughts? Is this normal?  ETA: So I figured out that what it's doing is resizing the AOE based on the distance the spell is cast from. So for instance, Spike growth has a 150' range. So I set up the spell with a 150' path. But the player is not always 150' from the target. So if the player casts the spell at say 75', it shrinks the AOE by half as well. This seems like a bug? Is there any way to address this?
For fun, I tried to make the spell with a shorter path/range. If the player then casts the spell from a further distance, the AOE is increased as well.
LMAO Nevermind I think i figured out where I was going wrong. >.<
