Links not appearing in Moz tool

Hey Guys I am finding that my Moz tool isn't showing links that are definitely there like from social media etc. Also links that are there about 4-5 months are not showing either! am i doing something wrong?

Matrix,  not all of the links to a site may show up in OSE.  Moz crawls pages on the web down to a rough level that have an impact on search results and if you have links on pages other than those, they'll not be reported in OSE.  Other link reporting platforms may crawl more pages and show more links, which can be useful info in a number of situations, but for many, just keeping track of those links that will help them in search engine results is sufficient.

Thanks for that Chris,

makes sense

I tend to use all Moz OSE, Webmaster tools and Majestic Crawler simultaneously to get the bigger picture as they all seem to pick up different links sometimes,

Just a thought,
