I gave up on trying to follow all the nested brackets - I think you
would help both yourself and us if you formatted such a query!

I think the error means that you are joining on columns of differing
types.  (E.g.: SELECT * FROM a JOIN b ON a.id = b.id, where a.id and
b.id are of different types.) That suggests an error in the query or a
discrepancy in the data structures; but if it is intentional, cast one
of them to match the other.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
      joining column's datatypes do not match
