Here is the full solution. When i looked at the assembly i found that the limit angle mate is creating problem. You have mated it in the hinge rather than Header. Maybe this will help.

How to use Copy with Mates Feature within SolidWorks?

I have to assemble 8 nuts in one of my assemblies. Generally, I would bring 8 nuts into my model separately and assign mates to each one of them. I don't have too much time left before the project deadline. So, I looked up the solution online. Then I found this amazing feature called "copy with mates". So, I thought I would write a bit about that feature in the form of a tutorial.
