Some pads just dont connect as shown in the image. When i click on some of them, the pads linked light up but the via to connect them just dont show up.
Thank you for the attencion, appreciate if we could solve the problem!
And when i click on the other to try the other way around the trace dont connect properly(as shown in image).
Make sure there is nothing on the edge cuts layer. Use highlight violation mode of the router to see what makes problems. View pads in outline mode.
Your screenshot looks suspicious. As if there were overlapping pads with different nets. See the white and gray texts.

A simple trick tho check if there is something under a Footprint.
- Hover over the Footprint.
- Press M for move.
- Move the mouse (footprint is now attached to cursor).
- Look under the footprint.
- Press [Esc] to return the footprint to it’s previous location.

i made the footprint, i will check there. i already moved in layout and didn’t see anything. But the same problem is occuring with a transistor(that i didnt make, already exsisted in kicad)
If you don’t find the reason, can you zip the project and upload it here? (Reading some topics in the forum gives you more priviledges to attach files if you don’t have them already.)
I already made the changes in the footprint i made, now it works properly! The transistor i talked about have the same problem because os the isolation(as shown on image) i think i will use a new class just for this section.
Anyway thank you guys for everything it helped a lot!!
Try setting the clearance in the footprint’s properties first before you change the whole net.
If the screenshot above is from the KiCad libraries, then either there is an error in the libraries, or you have changed the clearance. The thin yellow lines should not overlap the solid yellow.
This is how Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline looks like on my PC:
There are also about 30 variants of TO-92 Footprints in the libraries on my KiCad V5.1.5, including “Wide” variants:
Another simple possibility is to hover over your footprint in Pcbnew, press E for Edit and set “Move and Place” to “Free” 
in the footprint properties.
Then you can move individual pads of your footprint to make just a little bit extra room.

nice idea! i think i will change the footprint i am using on transistor
