Could someone please help diagnose how a guiding line to my loft is not connected to a profile? 😭😭

I have been trying to create guidelines for the shape of my winglet and when lofting the 1st part of the winglet I get the issue that one of the guidelines is not connected to one of the profiles. I have been getting it quite a few times but in these cases the disconnect was pretty noticeable so I could tell how to join them together. But this time it seems the back guideline and the first part of the front guideline are fine, however the last part of the front guideline (the line in red) does not seem to be connected to airfoil shown, which is strange as it does seem to be connected, so either its not connected by maybe 0.001mm or Onshape does not accept two seperates guidelines connecting the profiles?

Either way I have tried coincidenting the point to the plane that the airfoil lies on amidst other things but I still seem to be getting this error. Should I just change how I approach the guidelines, or is there an easy way to make sure the lines are always connected exactly?

    You need to group your leading edge guide segments into a single guide:

    You have three guides:
