Instagram processes media before publishing, so a post shows as Publishing for a minute or two before it is live; longer for video. A picture Instagram rejects (wrong ratio, too large) fails with Instagram's reason and the post is kept for you to fix.

If Instagram is not offered when you connect, see Connect your accounts: the Instagram account must be Professional and linked to the Facebook page.
