How did you set up mirrored margins?
- By using a gutter in margin settings with different even and odd headers? or
- By selecting Mirrored Margins in the margin gallery?
In addition, "mirrored margins" is a document setting. Different even and odd with a gutter is a document setting as well.
On the other hand, other margin settings are
section properties. You may have deleted section breaks containing this formatting.
-- just saw your update. Glad you got it fixed.
