"The part intersects with itself after bend operation" - yet I see no self-intersection

Attached is the sheet metal. Edge-Flange5 gives me an error "The part intersects with itself after bend operation" - yet I see no self-intersection. What could possibly be the issue? Is it not DFM enough?

STEP file attached. There may be some external references in the Solidwork 2019 file so ignore any additional errors. I uploaded both.

After flattening, a problem will occur in this place - intersect with itself

  True, I'll fix that, but what does it have to do with edge flange 5 which is on another location?

    I don't know where is "edge flange 5". I used STEP file. But... does not matter, since parts can be flattened.

        If you include that edge with the two edge flange4 feature you will not get the error.
