fMRIPrep floating voxels

Summary of what happened:

I am trying to pre-process my fMRI data using fMRIprep. However, when I do so, I see floating voxels outside the brain when I visually inspect my GLM, and when I pull peak MNI coordinates for different contrasts, I get voxels in unlabelled regions.

Command used (and if a helper script was used, a link to the helper script or the command generated):

echo "RUNNING FMRIPREP"

export SINGULARITYENV_FS_LICENSE=/home/groups/glc/freesurferlicense.txt
