Yes, you have too much string wrapped around the peg, which is pushing it out of the hole and making it not get get a good grip. You should only have
at most about 4 inches of string wrapped around the peg for most strings. For the thickest strings probably a bit less, just enough for a few
turns.
You should also wind toward the knob, not away from it. This will make it less likely the the string pressure pushes the peg out of the hole.
