I don't know the background, but you have jumped into something quite advanced, a lot of concepts are required before you can put in "a decent effort".

If all is as you say it is, then your mentor is a fool.
No-one can start to understand an astable multivibrator circuit without knowing what an ohm or a farad or time constants are.
Please be sure to show your mentor this post.

What class is that? Year 11?
You have no hope in hell of classifying what the problem is if you don't understand how time constants work.
I am sorry to he so harsh...but it is quite unrealistic to expect you to "fix it" without all the fundamantel concepts.
(unless it was meant as a paint by numbers exercise and you mixed up the paint...or the numbers
)
Oh...just by loking at the components in that blurry photo i can tell that the circuit doesn't contain enough "bits" to work as a one shot AND an astable.
