[Tex/LaTex] Margin for a paper

margins

I am trying to send a paper to a conference with specific margin requirements. I use the geometry package to define the margins.

\usepackage[letterpaper, left=1in, right=1in, bottom=1in, top=0.75in]{geometry}

However, I still get errors when trying to upload. e.g, right margin of page 6 is 0.958 inches, which does not leave 1 inches of margin.

Why are the margins set by geometry getting overridden? Is there a way to hard set the margins if so?

I can't reproduce the error; there are an MWE so you can tell me what to add to generate that error.
