How to troubleshoot Sketch could not be solved (no loose ends found)?

I'm trying to add one last center point rectangle to my drawing and it gives me the dreaded "Sketch could not be solved" error. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong myself, but I'm just not getting it. When I click the button to show sketch diagnostic tools, it just says no loose ends found. Is there something else I should be looking at to give me a clue?

I'm trying to put a center point rectangle centered on the right hand alignment line in this sketch:

I will probably have to change dimensions in the future, so I used variables for them. When I put the last box in, it shows as blue with the construction lines all red. If I give it the dimensions (via variables), the box goes black, but the construction lines are still red. The 2 construction line boxes should resize together based off the size of the upper right box, and they do seem to do that, it's just this last box (wall) doesn't want to go in.

Thank you in advance for assistance!

You should explore the "=" constraint. less dimensions and clutter that way. I would start deleting the red redundant contraints until you get to where you want to go.

Thank you. This morning I ended up redrawing it and got it to work, but you're right - I need to use the = constraint more. Thank you very much!
