Fillet fails to mirror

Hi to all,

Hi hate to ask this question because I really think I should have solved this by myself.

I have this boss that is already mirrored and wanted to add fillets to some of the edges.

Picture 1: So I moved the Tree Tab up and went into Sketch2 (in Cut-Extrude2) to add the fillets.

Picture 2: You can see the fillets there.

Picture3:`Once I got that done, I moved the Tree Tab down to Mirror4 and you can visualize the result of Fillet7 in the complete boss. The issue is the 3 very small fillets around the inside edges of the extruded bolt holes, they fail to mirror (3 on each side, total of 6 that do not mirror).

Picture 4: it’s hard to see but pay close attention to the 3 small edges, they are “square” on the mirrored boss.

Picture 5: You can see here that Fillet7 is selected in Mirror4 and the 3 small edges on each side are there but it is not showing when I get out of the Mirror, only the outside edge fillets are showing….

I’m puzzled…

The part file is also attached...

P.S. Don't know why the pictures are fuzzy and so small, I made them the same way as before and the others are clear and large...
