Large UZ force in one of the slabs

Hey everyone,

I'm a student and currently working on a client's project.

I have an issue where my etabs model is not showing errors when checking the model. However, when running the analysis, I get a large UZ displacement on one side of the building. I am guessing this issue is on the roof of the building due to the snow load, hence passing it onto the floors underneath. I have attached the file for anyone to look at and suggest what to do.

I have looked for hours on tutorials online but to no use. I have shared EDB and E2K file types for the model. Let me know if you encounter any issues accessing them, thank you!
