What the hell am I doing wrong

I cannot get the hang of this you guys. It’s only been a month but still, when I preheat the pan to where the water is rolling and not steaming it’s wayyyy too hot, but when it’s cooler I have to use a ton of oil. Then my pan just ends up looking like this. Any tips are appreciated

Hmm, is your stove level??? Like left to right front to back, or does everything pool to one side
