Dynamic Input - File selection does not contain data, select a valid data file

Hi everyone, 

 

Every day we receive data from a 3rd party and every month we use Alteryx to consolidate the data and seperate the required field (its a fix field lenght report). The 3rd party changed something in the data and now we are getting the error "File selection does not contain data, select valid data file". 

 

The change is the arrow in the data:

The arrow look like its doing a "page break" but im not 100% sure. In the dynamic input tool this is what we see:

In the previous data that was working, we didnt see that arrow and the dynamic input flat file layout was showing everything on the same line. 

 

Here is a preview of the flow:

Thanks in advance for any help.
