To find the grammar error

When I upload the following sentence to a online grammar checker, it shows that "be" is incorrect. I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know what is the wrong with it.


Under such conditions, not only would assigning a young leader be unfair, but it also could lead to a controversy.

As shown. The "be" is correct. You can't always depend on grammar checkers.

The grammar checker is wrong. The sentence structure, including "be", is in fact correct.

"assigning a young leader" may not be the optimal wording. I'm not sure without more context.

This is a "not only+ but..." structure. The previous post already confirmed that "be" is correct.. Maybe you can see it this way. What would be unfair? The act of assigning a new leader. So....not only would assigning a young leader be unfair, but it also could lead to a controversy.
