Hi Malik,
Thanks for reaching out!
Please note that on these graphs:
vertical axis (y-axis): shows the frequency of occurrence
the horizontal axis (x-axis): shows the value at which we find the mean, median, and/or mode.
With that in mind, you should compare the mean, median and mode on the x-axis. So, in the positive skewness graph, the mode is the lowest value and the mean is the highest value.
Best,
