Help getting image placement on material right

I'm fairly new to Maxwell Render - just bought the learning edition today - and I find myself stuck with something that should be fairly simple but apparently isn't to me!
After spending the day trying to find the solution online I give up.
At the moment I'm working on texturing 4 balls after some I've photographed which brings me to my problem.
I can't seem to place an image on top of a sphere and I can't seem to get it to be solid. Here is the result so far.

I'm hoping someone can help me!

Here's the material file

Your layers are all out of whack. Here's one I put together quickly:

Keep practicing. The material system is the most difficult part of Maxwell to learn.

Thanks, Bubbaloo :)
Another nice user posted a PM to me with more or less the same fix a few hours before you did. With some UV tweaks I finally suceeded!
