1st of all I don't think, this thread should be here! It should be In Q & A...
2ndly, give the information about your device bro! Which model are you on!
Check out if you are using the right TWRP for your phone! the problem of exceeding the size happens only when u chose wrong trwp image to flash!

As mentioned before: what's exactly the version of the twrp.img you're trying to flash.
Please download the latest version of twrp for your device here https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotogplus2016.html
There are also instructions too.
You can provide us the console output here too(code) or within pastebin if you wish.
Bootloader
Twrp official 3.1.1.0 athene is the version im trying to flash. Its strange on my one plus devices i was able to unlock bootloader side load trwp and root no problem for some reason my moto does not want to play nice.
So now i get greeted with the nasty your device is unsafe because of the unlocked bootloader but i cant flash the official twrp and i thought getting the bootloader code was going to be hard.

Did you try to download the twrp.img again? Maybe your file is corrupted in any way. Original twrp image should be around 12 mb, your screenshot says something like 17mb.

This is the correct download location for Moto G4/G4 Plus (Athene) devices.
And you could try to flash the recovery via Flashify from the Playstore.

Yes, check your twrp image and try again. Because one time I accidentally flashed twrp for other Device in my device then I got that error. Download the fresh copy of twrp and try to flash it
