Your tiles are already selected correctly, the problem is that your map has a larger tile size than the tiles, so the tiles don’t fill the space and thus appear spaced apart.

You can either set your map’s grid size in Map \> Map Properties to match your tile size, or you can set your Tileset’s tile render size to map grid to make the tiles stretch to fit. I recommend the first option.
