How do I join these vectors?

I drew the shapes on the right. Used trim vectors to end up with the shape on the left but I can’t seem to join the vectors. What am I doing wrong here?

Start by setting the Grid Size to something reasonable:

Note that when using Trim Vectors, it is necessary to trim out the entire shape — this means that one must duplicate anything which one wishes to preserve for further operations or other usages, so select the largest rectangle:

copy-paste it in place:

Then use the replica for one operation by shift-clicking to add one of the other pieces of geometry to the selection:

then use Trim Vectors:

to remove what is not wanted:

Until one arrives at:

OK

OK

Then use Join Vectors to close:

Repeat for the other two:
