just upload the file itself, please, it would be much more easier to check.

the general solution is to bring the cursor on the 'wrong' syntax and then
type the command:
echo synIDattr(synID(line('.'), col('.'), 0), 'name')
this will give you the syntax item that this word belong to and then you can
type the command
hi <whatever-you-get-from -previous-command>
this will show the highlight group for that syntax item.

by try and error, you'll be certain to find the error either in your code
or in the syntax file.
