Lots of guys have bald spots in their beards. It takes awhile to fill in. It's not uncommon for guys in their 20s to not be able to grow a full beard.

My suggestion is just rock what you got or shave it all. Fake facial hair is very apparent and if you try to match it with facial hair you already have it makes it even more noticeable.

I had this problem, myself.  Beards take many years to fully develop.

Well it is either too many years or I am just too impatient but mine is 'patchy'.

Mine was a bit patchy for roughly a decade.  It is uncommon, I think, that a man can grow a rich and even beard and a full and even head of hair at the same age.
