I made a distro of Ubuntu from Remastersys. Everything works except, the places are messed up. The home folder acts as the desktop folder and I can't see my pictures, my videos etc folders inside home. I copied my entire Home folder to /etc/skel/ before creating the distro. Any advice please?

Before you Remaster your Distro. Open up the file called

/home/{USER_NAME}/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Replac {USER_NAME} with your user name, for example : /home/amit/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Check out all folder places are typed like this following file, if needed edit as shown in picture below

enter image description here

If the desire folder is not typed and left blank type it as given snapshot above. Some times some Desire Directories are left blank and won't work. Check all

XDG_<Desired Name>_DIR="<Required absolute Path>"

When this is done then copy all, whatever you want, folders, files, ect. to /etc/skel remaster will make that default home folder as installation and will copy the same.
