Understanding Managed In-Context Design, In context design within a doc, step 28

I have to admit (and hate to) that I'm stumped. I have spent 15 hours on this one step on 3 days, but can't get the bracket modification fully defined. All the lines of the sketch are black, but I need to add to dimensions to get that, which aren't present in the slide in the tutorial. The feature still shows not Fully defined. What am I missing? I have done every combination of constraints I can think of without improvement on this.

The lines might be black, but look carefully for some blue line endpoints. When I did the exercise, I had two endpoints I had to constrain.
I added a few more constraints, but that didn't change the error. One thing I notice in yours and in the tutorial picture, the line on the bottom that is the right side of the angled block, running off the bottom of the image above is not part of the sketch in mine (gray), but is in yours and the tutorial. I can add a line there, but it doesn't change anything. It seems in yours it is part of the Use. I would swear that I selected the two things for the use correctly and have no idea how to alter a Use post facto.
OK, it wasn't hard. I selected Use and clicked that line. It made it Use, but also didn't fix the issue.
Another version, with centerpoint circles over the two holes of the left. Still same error.
These all look blue to me. Click and drag them to see what's not defined. Or share your doc.
My doc is public. Don't know how else to share. I wasn't able to move the right and lower points you circled, but I could move the other. I moved the end of the left line to the right a bit and used coincident to attach them together and it couldn't solve, giving this.
The right and lower points were black and now the right one is blue. Would have been nice if a better contrasting color was used than blue.
I deleted the diameter dimension and everything looks black now, but still error.
I found that the point on top of the big circle could now be pulled apart, so I coincident connected it to the circle. I tried pulling every point and nothing moves.
