Trying to constrain the sketch below. I would like to mirror the top right half of the sketch around the horizontal construction line then mirror the entire sketch below but can't figure out how to constrain those last blue lines.
Thank you

When solving a sketch, you may need to drag and stretch things to reveal what is missing constraints.
In this case, there were a few end points that were not connected, usually near an arc. Also some tangent constraints were missing.
Here is a video of what I needed to do to solve it:
Hope this helps

Brilliant John, I was so close and of course really far from the solution. Thanks so much for taking the time to help.1
