I would be very pleased to troubleshoot this for you. If you could open an issue in the GitHub repo and attach the OFX file you are trying to import, I will endeavour to fix the importer.
If the OFX file contains sensitive data you don't wish to expose (like your account number), please feel free to edit it to something innocuous, but it's really important to preserve the original structure. I have so few examples of real import files to work with, so I really appreciate new examples. Thanks for having a go and reporting back!
