Bottom panel is justified, but you missed the point about hyphenation. Hyphenation is where a word that won't fit on a single line is broken across two, with a hyphen appended to the first part; this should be something you can enable in whatever software you're using, so just look up "[program] automatic hyphenation" (if your program doesn't support it, find one that does; you can also import your text into more professional typesetting tools).

Justification on its own adjusts the widths of spaces, character spacing, and characters themselves to make the text fill to the margins. Normally this has bounds on it (how far some things with be stretched or compressed to fit the text), but can still lead to cases where spaces are uncomfortably large in a line. Hyphenation addresses this by allowing the words themselves to be broken, and generally makes the spacing much more consistent.

See pic rel for an example of hyphenation.
(Not my writing, but part of something I'm editing; the software I'm using is Scribus, which is okay for typesetting, but isn't as competent for writing and re-editing the text itself so probably better to import into later.)
