1; have you got rid of the bubbles?
2; for awkward narrow strips, measure the gap at top and bottom with a steel rule. the measurements will probably differ; so measure the width say every foot. transfer the measurements onto the paper by marking with a pencil. 'join' the marks up with pencil and the straight edge of the rule. cut along the line with scissors.

try to avoid papering straight into an internal corner with one piece of paper; over time the paper can shrink and 'lift' away from the corner.

using a similar method as descibed above, try to cutting a piece of paper into two, so the join is in the corner.

every time you start a new wall, draw a vertical line on the wall with a spirit level, and line the paper up with that.

Best to be lining horizontally ...Use a caulking-board & snap-blade knife to cut paper at corners/edges, frames & skirtings , not scissors..
