would be easier to see if you used the Snipping Tool , not your Phone to take pics of the screen since you can't post the plan......

might be a floor platform issue.....the gap looks to be about the same size as the Sill Plate ie 1 1/2 "

Yes, I agree there is some sort of platform issue going on here....

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated here!

Call if you can help me out. Thanks!

Much easier to see..... and I see wall misalignment in both pics..... on the right in the 1st pic on the upper side wall and in the second pic on the left ...looking through the Arch you can see the jink in the wall lines....

Don't rely on the Alignment Tool to get it right , it definitely is not infallible.....

Are the two wall types , Main layers aligned correctly? eg CMU to OSB ? ( with stucco over both?)

check the wall definitions main layers. Confirm a match to the outer layer based on dimensions. In other words - use main layer for alignment but then match the thickness of the outer layers so they align also.
