Cannot extend sheet metal tab to face of part

I'm trying to add a tab to a sheet metal part. The sketch that I'm using as the tab profile is the correct size, but the tab feature keeps cutting the end of the tab back to the tangent of the bend in the part. I want the tab to extend to the outside face of the part. There is nothing in the way that should prevent the tab from extending.
This is the flange profile I want.
This is the flange profile I get.
This is what I'm trying to make. Nothing special about it, but I can't get it to do what I want. I was able to make this in SolidWorks by editing the flange profile, but I can't find an option like that in Onshape. Open to any suggestions you all have,

Without the document, it's hard to say. It should be able to be created correctly in the Shetmetal tool, but you could also use the move face command to get what you want.
