Hi, I am newbe to Onshape. I’ve been working on a rain-gard for my electric scooter and am generally satisfied with how it looks. However, I’m struggling with one corner that I can't fill in. Can someone help me figure out how to fill in the last bit before I send it to the 3D printer?

It would be much easier to model the outside shape that you want and shell it.
Your model is 10x more complicated than it needs to be. The idea of parametric modeling is that you try to figure out what you want to make, and then use the fewest features that can still be easily modified when your design needs to change. It's somewhat of an art form, but when you're using a ton of transforms, removing and re-adding material over and over, that's not a very efficient way to model things. It's very hard to understand and update in the future.
I would strongly recommend going through the training that's available.
