graph API - facebook og image tags set but still rendering wrong image

I have set my meta tags for using the sharer API as below but Facebook is picking up the wrong image and description

    <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.example.com/tips-and-motivation/content/week-1-media-2" />
    <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.example.com/assets/tips-and-motivation/week-1-assets/Monument-5.jpg" />
    <meta property="og:image:width" content="900" /> 
    <meta property="og:image:height" content="540" />
    <meta property="og:description" content="test" />

All looks to be set right as per the documentation i've read online but every time I perform a new scrape it picks up a different image and the description is also not set... Here are the error messages the sharer is returning:

Inferred Property The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

Inferred Property The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

Inferred Property The 'og:description' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

Inferred Property The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

Share App ID Missing The 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.

As WizKid said we really need to see the URL to help diagnose. But if that's not possible, here's where to start:

  1. If you use any kind of caching on your site, try clearing it and then...
  2. Testing your link in the FB Sharing Debugger https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/
