Tertiary Datum doesn't constrain any degrees of freedom?

2023.1--Selecting Datum A as a plane; Datum B as a hole, Datum C as a hole.
"GEOMAJIC" States Datum C doesn't control any degree of freedom
Without Datum C, Datum B doesn't constrain the final degree of rotational freedom.
Am I wrong here?

Is datum B Perpendicular to the Plane?

This one has me really stumped:

Even though LIN_C is in the direction of X+ it should still be the origin for Z axis.

But according to 2023.1, it doesn't constrain any degrees of freedom.

"Datum is invalid because it constrains no degrees of freedom. Datum reference C"

But since it is and Edge it will constrain the last degree of freedom
