Link2Sd Partition Problems

Okay. I'm new here. Please have mercy on me, community.
Anyways, I have tried nearly every tutorial I could find. I tried nearly everything and I'm at the point of pulling my hair out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Firstly, here is what I'm using/trying to partition :

- 128GB XC microSD
- Minitool Partition Wizard 9.1
- Link2SD App
- Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999L (Rooted)
- Fat32Formatter for Windows (The sd card is apparently exFat by default)

Yes, I know exFat isn't usually supported, that's why I tried to convert it to Fat32 with the formatter. It works, but Minitool Partition Wizard just doesn't want to work. I use Windows 10, if that affects anything.
I try to "Move/Resize" the first partition to the sizes I want, set it as primary, and set to Fat32. The same way every single person in tutorials keeps saying. Then I create a new partition, and that's where things seem to go wrong. I create a partition, I set it to ext2/ext3/ext4 or even Fat32/Fat16 (See? I try everything). I don't even know if the cluster size or the "Label Name" affects anything, so I leave them alone. As soon as I finish, I click apply. And then when it finishes, the second partition is ALWAYS full. The "used space" is always taken up, no matter what I do. For example, I wanted to use 500 MB for the second partition. After I apply everything, for some reason the "used space" will be 500 MB. The used space is always used up, and I don't know why. This is preventing me from using Link2Sd too. The Link2SD App will always give me the "Mount Script Cannot Be Created : Invalid Argument" error. I can't just ignore that used space.
Is there ANYTHING I am doing wrong? It can't be my SD Card, it isn't corrupted.
Is there anything I am missing? Or are cards larger than 64GB simply not possible to work with?
The Aparted App never works.
The EaseUS Partition Software does the exact same thing as Minitool, and it doesn't help.
I haven't tried GParted yet.
I am running out of hope.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
