I'm stumped and have been trying for hours to fix this issue.

I am exporting my Indesign file to a PDF/X-1a:2001 (Print) then importing it into KDP. It's telling me that I have a margin issue, but I'm not seeing it. This is what I'm seeing:

KDP:

InDesign:

 

Settings:

Save settings:

Could it have something to do with 'facing pages?'

HELP!!!
