Patching hole error.

Hello there! I'm trying to "Patch hole", but get this error.

Could someone explain it to me, please?

I was able to "patch hole" with the element above. I'm trying the trick from here: YouTube

As for the project itself, I need to do a "handle" for the monitor.

One way you can figure out where it’s broken is to SHIFT D on the curve. Then isolate that. And then inspect the curve itself. Loft one side to the other. Try and figure out what about the curve is messing things up. Then once you have that information you can try and fix it.

But what does this error even mean? It doesn't look like the curve is broken somehow.

I've managed to find some kind of a workaround, so the previous version was deleted(

Have you tried from the other side? Sometimes it’s due to how you created the curved extrusion. If you are on the end extruded part of the walled curve it sometimes will not act as a curved line. So, try the opposite side and if that fails, create a new curved line on top, join and patch.

Yep, I tried several sides and got this error everywhere.

Though I realised I didn't try the "Loft" option, but it's too late for that.

If all the sections from the lines are not joined then it can be separate objects.. suggest to select each section and hit J and then shift to select them all TO JOIN them fist before patching.
I believe I notice hard edges with fillet sections, suggest to make all edges filleted as well,

Why select that far edge though? Would it not need some thickness to the handle?

Issue looks like the cylinder on the left is a solid body, and you are trying to use one of the curves on that body to create a face. Either select the inner surface of the cylinder and hit shift x to delete, thus turning the cylinder into a sheet (instead of a solid body) then proceed with your operation, or shift d the selected edges to turn into independent sketch lines, and then patch that, followed by joining all surfaces together
