ConstraintLayout does not wrap content

I have a view limit inside the map. The buttons are arranged in a grid as shown in the figure. But for some reason, spaces appear below the buttons. I want to remove this spaces.

enter image description here

Here is the xml code

             <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/cvSpecialisations"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        app:cardElevation="2dp"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/bViewAll">

        <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

    </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

I tried to change the width and height to match_parent wrap_content

Your CardView does not wrap content because all vertical elements must be wrapped in a "wrapped" chain.

So I added app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed"

some additional vertical margins as well:

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/cvSpecialisations"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    app:cardElevation="2dp"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/bViewAll" >

    <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tvSearchBySpecialisation"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
            android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
            android:text="Search by specialisation"
            android:textSize="14dp"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/vDividerInSpecialisationCard"
            app:layout_constraintVertical_chainStyle="packed"/>

    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>


It should look like this:
