Messed up my wok??

Hi culinary friends,

My boyfriend and I recently bought our first carbon steel wok and finally got around to seasoning it for the first time. I noticed it was burning weirdly in the center, but kept going until the rest around it started to darken as well. First picture is how it looked when I noticed it was burning weirdly, second is how we ended up. I attached pictures of the instructions I followed, directly from the manufacturer’s website. I’m not sure if we didn’t scrub off the coating enough and that’s what’s chipping off, if we used to much oil and it burned so that’s why it’s gummy, or what. In my opinion we severely f*cked up though. What can we do?
