I want my new cards to be again (5 min), hard (1 day), good (2 days), and easy (3 days), and my new cards do show this time interval. However, as I am in the learning stage, sometimes the good interval is longer than the easy interval. What settings should I adjust while still keeping my new cards at 5 min, 1 day, 2, days, 3 days? I attached a screenshot of the weird scheduling of a learning card and my current settings.
For reference, I’m in second year of medical school studying for STEP 1. I can’t commit to reviewing cards in 12 hrs and use easy when I already feel comfortable with that information, which is why I like new cards to have these steps. As you can see, I also have a bunch of cards due every day, so I like the settings I have for new cards.

Your issue is being caused by setting your final learning step, your Graduating interval, and your Easy interval to all be 3d. Those aren’t meant to be the same.
Your Graduating interval should longer than your final step – because if you’ve already demonstrated you can remember for 3d, you don’t need to demonstrate that again.
Your Easy interval should generally be even longer than your Graduating interval. Grading a card Easy during Learn means there’s no point in moving through the learning steps to a normal graduation-to-Review. You are using the steps and intervals a bit atypically, so there may be a reasonable argument for having those 2 intervals fairly close together. But if you set them the same, you’ll always have the risk that fuzz factor will cause Good to be longer than Easy. Studying - Anki Manual
