BOLD signal brain mask not including parts of frontal grey matter

[dameder]

What happened?

When running fmriprep on my slab EPI images, the BOLD mask (red contour) does not include the most anterior part of prefrontal cortex. This happens in all participants.

I have browsed the forum and fmriprep documentation, but have not been succesful in
a) understanding where the issue might arise (found some old posts where the BOLD mask went wrong due to erroneous n4 bias field correction, but there it seemed to have gone completely wrong).
nor
b) understanding the implications of this error. Does this "only" affect the compCorr generation, or does it also have other consequences down the line?

Any help appreciated,

David
