Part mirroring generating too many sheet metal bends
First time Onshape user (with very limited CAD experience) here encountering a problem.
I've modelled a speaker stand which surprisingly turned out exactly how I envisioned it. However when I enter the 'sheet metal table and flat view' there are more bends than there ought to be.
I designed one foot with a slot running the length and 2 bends and used the mirror tool to create the remaining 3. The original leg generates 2 bends in the sheet metal table as expected but the mirrored legs generate 4 each for a total of 14 bends when there should only be 8. Any idea what's causing this? I've attached the link to the model.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Almost. Forum bug. You have to wait for a moment or two before hitting post for the link to work.

It appears not only Onshape is a big learning curve lol
In addition to the number of bends, I just reworked the flange sketches so that the patterned holes remain at the midpoint of the flange when I change the diameter of one the circles. Which has created a cutout in the platform when extruding its sketch. It didn't do so before - any idea why it does now?
