@Samaraweera207

There's a much easier way to create something like that. It involves the use of a clipping mask.


Create some shapes with the required colours. Something like this.





Select all, and group all the shapes
Draw a circle over the top - this will be used as a clipping mask
With the Selection tool V hold down Shift and click on both the circle and the group to select them both
Click Object > Clipping Mask > Make




More info on using clipping masks is available on the Adobe help website

Say this is your (I have only re-traced your given sample but not exact shapes)


just extend more your line overlaping the orange and blue or see the path of the original circle which is divided into colors



select the no fill & no stroke paths then use shape builder tool



use temporary color first just to see in the layer menu then recolor later
