Fillet problem

So every now and then I have a piece i just can't seem to fillet. I am trying to fillet the edges of base selected, but overtime it filets them but they are not trimmed, almost like its a separate piece. I have checked that the base is a solid and there seems to be no gaps . . .would love to know what im doing wrong

Many thanks
