Error in testing

I am having problems with my test. It looks like it's simple. All you have to do is delete a space, but I keep getting an error for some reason.

@Override
    public String format(String template) {
        if(template.equals("%t")){
          return String.format("%02 seconds", getSeconds());
        }
        else if(template.equals("%h:%M:%S")) {
            return String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", getHours(), getMinutes(), getSeconds());
        }
        else if(template.equals("%d days, %h hours, %m minutes, and %s seconds")){
            return String.format("%d days,%2d hours,%2d minutes, and %2d seconds", getDays(), getHours(),
                    getMinutes(), getSeconds());
        }
        else return null;

    }


 @Test
    public void testFormatExample1() {
        assertEquals("3 days, 4 hours, 0 minutes, and 9 seconds",
                fromDHMS(3, 4, 0, 9)
                        .format("%d days, %h hours, %m minutes, and %s seconds"));
    }

This is what I should get

3 days, 4 hours, 0 minutes, and 9 seconds

yet this is what I keep getting

Expected :3 days, 4 hours, 0 minutes, and 9 seconds
Actual   :3 days, 4 hours, 0 minutes, and  9 seconds

I've tried everything to get rid of that extra space in and 9 seconds

If I go to the last case of my if statement, and I delete the space between and and %2d seconds, It still doesn't work. I did it for the spaces before it and it worked.

Does anyone know the problem?
