I would
1) add the slur from Scroll View,
2) switch to Page View, and customize the slur layout (click the slur handle to get several adjustment handles).

When I compare your two screen shots, I notice that the slur has changed color in the second screen shot.
This means that the slur looks different in the score and in the linked part.
In Other Words: the slur layout has become “un-linked” between score and part.

* Did you edit the slur layout in the score?
* Did the slur layout change in the score?

* Did you edit the slur layout in the linked part?
* Did the slur layout change in the linked part?

By The Way:
* Did you Update Layout?

I can see that the right end of all of your slurs looks like it is not attached to its respective note (the tip should appear centered on the notehead). Drawing slurs in Finale can be a little tricky. Make sure you see the note highlight (the second note, end of the slur) before you release the mouse button. The highlighting indicates that the slur has been properly "anchored" to its note.
