I'm not sure why this is happening to you, it could be many things, but I could suggest different approach. Your part appears to be symmetrical, cut it in half or even quarter and mirror the entire finished body.

I did mirror a simple flange across the plane as you have done with out issue, can you upload your model?

De-select "Features to Mirror" and choose "Bodies to Mirror" instead.

Hello,

I don't recommend a body mirror as sheet metal flanges are features and can remain as one body:

EDIT: Also, attached your file. I believe this is a workflow issue.
See How can I attach a file to a forum post?

  Sorry, it's a future version. I'm on SW2018.
  
  As a consolation prize, I've attached the file for the screen shots above.
  It doesn't have all of the flanges of your part, but perhaps by reviewing my file, it may help with your file.

Well it kind of works now. I removed "Optimize Geometry"
