Hello everyone,
I am trying to fill in my antenna with copper and it is not filling it up completely. I am using the add file zone tool. The width of my trace is 0.508mm.
Any advice will help!
Thanks!

Were you expecting it to connect the filled areas to certain tracks?
If so, look up the net name of the track you want in connected to and type it in where it says “No Net”.
Otherwise, it will do what it says and give you a copper island.
 
I think use of tracks in your case should not be necessary. You should be able to define your geometry only with a zone. Still If use of track is necessary I suggest to assign a net name. If I remember correctly no name zones should not overfill no name tracks. Additionally as far as I know clearance values 0 does not mean "no clearance", it generally means "use default or parent value" in KiCAD. You may assign a small value like 0.1mm, which seems sufficient for your design
