I don't know the dimensions of the particular graphic you're using, but try measuring it again to be sure you're starting your buff icon locations inside the inner area ... which I assume is what you're intending. Since it appears you're locked into that specific background size to keep it all fitting together right, you might need to play with the icon sizes to get them to fill in properly and also allow for room for 21 buffs to be displayed.

This is the solution to your problem Yonu. Search various UI XML files to find an object that uses autostretch, if you need an example of how to use it.
