Lighting problem
Hi everyone!
I've been working on this build on and off for quite a while and it's getting pretty far along, but I just stumbled upon a very annoying problem.
See, I had already done the whole exterior, the floor plan and placement of the main furniture for the arts center I built. I've also fully decorated the ground floor. Today, I decided to move on to the second floor, which just had a few pieces of furniture placed in the room to help me figure out the floor plan. I added a couple items to one area and realized it was very dark, so I added a few ceiling lights. Suddenly, I saw this dark line.

No matter where I place the lights, they can't remove this line. If I place a light on one side of the line, its light can reach the other side, but it is basically cut in half. If I place lights directly above the line, it becomes slightly lighter, but the contrast stays similar as the rest of the room is lit up. Despite placing many sources of light all over (somewhat haphazardly as I tried to make something change, anything), it never goes away. Then I realized the shape wasn't just random. It's the same as one wall on the ground floor.

Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix this without destroying the whole gallery or the theater below?
