Low Battery and Voltage Reported When Both are High

I have a 1,200-watt, 1,000AH solar system on my RV as itemized below. For some reason, it is giving me a "Low battery" warning, both in the VictronConnect app and on the "vilcron energy BLUE POWER" panel.

When I use the VictronConnect app, it shows that my state of charge is 97%, 13.97 volts, and "infinite" time remaining. At the same time, it has a notification at the bottom portion of the screen that says, "Low voltage."

Doesn't the combination of my 97% state of charge, 13.97V, and 1,000AH bank mean I don't have a low battery or low voltage? If so, where would I begin troubleshooting?

FYI, when I called my installer, he suggested that some of my batteries could have burned fuses. So I bought six replacement fuses and took them to an RV repair facility. The tech advised me that all my fuses are fine. I attached a screenshot of the VC app and my fuses and following is my component list. Any troubleshooting suggestions for a layperson would be appreciated!

I’ve got a similar issue, but I can’t even get my batteries to discharge below 100%! A simple fan triggers the low voltage alarm.
