I realized that I forgot to change my via settings. This was my first try at making a board in Altium. By default it doesn't place the solder mask over the vias. I prefer having the solder mask over the vias. It makes soldering by hand a little easier. In this case, the small amount of solder I place on the resistor and LED pads gets sucked down into the via. Not a big deal, but makes assembly just a little more difficult.
