Help Equity Waterfall Still has Ending Balance After All Distributions

I have a pretty simply Equity Waterfall that has 2 promotes

1: 7% IRR 10%/90%

2: 11% IRR 25%/90%

3: Remainder

The model has the cashflow sufficient to pass the first hurdle 7% but only by a smidge.

When it gets to the second hurdle, it distributes as much as it can, but the required return of 11% is greater than the cash flow and so I fall short and once all the distribution are gone, there is a remaining capital account balance that continues until the model ends.

It only reaches an 8%IRR on the second hurdle

Is this wrong? Should it never come out this way?

Here is an image of the watefall: See how there is an $8m balance ending after the capital event.

If there was a zero balance in a capital account for which the hurdle IRR had not been reached, you could be 100% sure that it was wrong.  You should have a non-zero capital account balance if you're below the hurdle.
