The water will struggle to "run off" because you have upstand on those edging kerbs. While some may find its way through the joints between adjacent kerbs, they will rapidly silt-up and make the problem even worse.
Find the low spots and use a cut-off saw to widen the joints to around 12mm

With a straight joint pattern like that you will always get some slight wiggles,can't be off it with no interlock
looks a great job,don't forget to cut the drainage slots in the kerbs MSH
