How do I correct the bottom corner of this CW?

I created a custom frame at the corner of this curtain wall, so that it could act as a corner for where the curtain wall intersects with another curtain wall.

However, once I modified the dimensions of the specific frame piece, it won't extend down all the way to the bottom of the 2" frame, it stays stuck 1" up... I've tried to move the frame down, I've tried to extend it, I've increased the intersction priority, and can't get it to intersect properly.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Try decreasing the intersection priorities of the intersecting frame.
Also try making the thickness of the frame bellow (the invisible one) zero.
Try that to see if that helps

Thanks, arqrivas, but those didn't solve it.

Will keep playing with it, but I don't understand why changing the dimensions of one of the end frames would modify how it miters with another boundary frame... challenging.

Select the Curtain Wall and in the Curtain Wall Settings Dialog in the Curtain Wall System page, go to the Member Placement panel and select the "Inside Boundary" option. Then, when the Frames are extended anywhere along the boundary of the Curtain Wall they will extend to the outside of the connecting Frame.
