It's a constellation plot for sure - says it right on the block in the
PNG, but it's all internally generated anyway. There should be 1
perfect phase, then 3 out of phase points. No noise - no
phase/frequency offset. Timing shouldn't be an issue here even if it
were a normal plot.
I think the issue is no matched filter on the other side. RRC
filtering won't look very appealing to the eye, but RC filtering
should match what you expect.
Try adding a matched RRC filter before you do the constellation. You
should see the 4 samples/symbol and their trajectories as they
converge onto the 4 nice points.
