You have ton of parallax. use a pano head

Or generate control points in the areas furthest from the camera.

Misho is right - there is very significant parallax visible. See the video tutorials on the PTGui web site (under "Learn").  In particular, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEgLgReARxs .

Handheld shooting can give reasonable results if you follow some rules.
Try to maintain the no parallax point as close as possible, f.e by the
following procedure:
Place your right foot slightly forward, such that the tip of your shoe
is vertically below the front lens with the camera pressing against your
head and looking through the viewfinder with your right eye. Now rotate
yourself with the camera around the tip of your right shoe, always
staying with the front lens vertically above that point. Work with a lot
of overlap. If possible avoid near foreground. Try to shoot such, that
foreground objects are completely on one image (you can mix landscape
and portrait images easily in PTGui).

A good method is also the philopod. That's a simple piece of string with
a weight on it's end and a loop on the other, that you can tie around
your lens. See https://wiki.panotools.org/Philopod for details. You
don't need a spirit level, and f.e. your key will do as a weight.
Essential is, that you tie it as near to the front lens (or the
no-parallax-point, if you know it) as possible. Now you take photos
rotating the camera such that the weight (your key) almost touches the
ground in always the same point.

Here is my far from perfect attempt (which requires PTGui pro). The bad
thing is: I can't say how I did it or why it works, apart from a lot of
manually set control points and a weird combination of what parameters
to optimize and what not. I focused on having the desks unbroken, but I
have no idea why the pole of the sunshade finally went almost straight.
Before it was always bent.
