Lattice Modifier Unevenly Affects Mesh

Hello,

For some reason certain parts of my mesh aren't moving smoothly with the lattice modifier. You can kind of see in this screen shot where I exaggerated the lattice deformation to make the error more obvious. The middle plank is not moving as far as the planks/metal around it. Any idea what I did to make this happen?

    hi jjosephwfox  Those planks can't bend, because they have not enough geometry as you can clearly see in Edit Mode:

    Just give them a few 'cuts' with CTRL R, like this:
