Why has field extractor incorrectly mapped the fields or shows same value for multiple fields?

I have a long event which I tried to extract fields from, using splunk's extract additional fields feature. 

I chose comma delimited extraction and named the fields appropriately. I have 117 fields altogether and when I to display the fields with the table command, I noticed that there are a couple of data-to-field mismatches. 

 

field3 value is replicated for field5. 

field4 value is replicated for field8.

Please refer the screenshot for better understanding:regex errorregex error

I have checked the transforms.conf and that looks fine.

I'm not sure how to get over this issue.

Any help in guiding towards the right solution will be highly appreciated.
