Am I doing something wrong during my top stitch that I end up seeing the seam stich thread in the middle?

It may or may not matter but I keep my seam stitches smaller than the open stitches. Looks like you top stitches are tight enough so I would suspect your seam stitches are the same. On my machine seam stitches are on 4mm and the top may be 6 to 7mm.
Hopefully others will chime in.

@LLeeT Yes I do the same. I Usually use a thicker thread on the French seam .

So my seam is 6 and the top is 8. I used the same thread for both, would it be better if I used a smaller thread for the seam?

make sure to do relief cuts on the curves and corners don't force it or hold it tighter , cause that will cause your stitches look different and not even.

Smaller thread will be not as strong. Tighten up your seam stitches, along with Ronda's advice.

I should have said SHORTEN instead of tighten.

I use a shorter stitch (6mm) when joining panels and longer (10mm) for topstitching. Also try reducing the side pressure from your hand at the foot when topstitching ….. hope that makes sense.
