I think that was braided correctly. That is a four stem plant and braiding with 4 lengths of anything is very intricate. But since the lengths are as thick and unyielding as a tree trunk (especially as the tree gets older) two of the stems have to be worked together as one and the standard braiding is done.
I would leave it like it is and continue braiding in that manner as it grows. Trying to change it could cause damage to one of the trunks.
This is a photo of braids made with 3 and more yarns. The second one from the left is 4 and you can see how tight and intricate that braiding is.
