ASME design help! How to address the issue shown in the PVELite calculation sheet, where the reinforcement elements affect the maximum allowable working stress of the container?

As shown in the calculation report exported by PVELite, under the \"Nozzle Summary\" section, it reads: Warning: A Nozzle Reinforcement is governing the MAWP of this Vessel. Warning: The nozzle reinforcement element controls the maximum allowable working pressure of this vessel.
Is the margin of the reinforcement ring too small? Try thickening it.
This situation is unreasonable; try increasing the thickness of the overlay or the thickness or diameter of the reinforcement ring
There’s no problem, right? The MAWP is just restricted by the reinforcement ring; it’s not a mistake
