Gradient Layer Not Filling View

I have a gradient layer that isn't filling the view it's assigned to. The constraints on view are top, left, right 0 and bottom 8. Below will be the code of the gradient and an image of the issue. The buttons are also inside the view so you can see that it is in fact filling the width of the screen. I greatly appreciate any help on this. It's making absolutely no sense to me.

Here's the code:

let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
let picker = UIImagePickerController()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Setup gradient
    gradientLayer.frame = self.gradientBackground.bounds
    gradientLayer.colors = [Constants.Colors.brightOrange.cgColor, Constants.Colors.lightOrange.cgColor]
    gradientLayer.locations = [0.0,1.0]
    self.gradientBackground.layer.insertSublayer(gradientLayer, at: 0)

Could you check that `self.gradientBackground.bounds` isn't correct when you try to create your layer in `viewDidLoad()`? If that's the case: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24303279/auto-layout-constraint-on-calayer-ios – Larme Mar 27 '17 at 15:38
The bounds are correct :/ – Riley Osborne Mar 27 '17 at 15:42
Could you move that code in layoutSubview or viewDidAppear? – Larme Mar 27 '17 at 15:44
viewDidLayoutSubviews() did it! – Riley Osborne Mar 27 '17 at 15:48
So, my guess, is that when I asked about the value of the `bounds`, and you said it was correct, what I meant, is in viewDidAppear/viewDidLayoutSubviews/viewDidLoad, may not have the same value for the bounds. – Larme Mar 27 '17 at 15:49
How do I give a comment credit for answering the question? Or do you need to make an actual answer? – Riley Osborne Mar 27 '17 at 15:50
