Hello guys. Here I'm again asking for help. This time i started working in a background and i get stuck with the perspective,i need to put a circle on these platforms i tried for an hour and i gived up.So before i move on in another perspective i wanted to see if someone can help me,maybe its easy and i just dont figured out how to do this. So,i need the circles to fit these columns and do a circle platform below them.

I think it is hard because you've mixed and matched two perspective drawing approaches. One one hand you've *almost* got a "1 point perspective" where all parallel lines merge on a single point in the distance. On the other hand you've *almost* got what is called an oblique projection on two different sides.
Circles become very ugly in oblique projection as you'll see here (view D): You won't be able to use an ellipse tool to foreshorten it correctly.
 They no longer retain their horizontal foreshortening but instead it moves to a 45 degree angle.
