'issue with border on top of divs inside of another div all displaying at very top

On my asp.net mvc application there is a view that displays a report with a lot of graphics and text. On one part of the view I have a div which contains some inner divs. I set the top border to 1px solid #999 when it displays on the page the very top div has a 3px border and none of the other dives show the border.

Here is what the code looks like on the view

 
<div class="page" style="border: 1px solid #50c7f4; padding:5px 35px">
@if (ViewBag.ScoreSheet)
{
    ViewData["ReportSectionName"] = "Scoresheet";

Why does the part that says Mental Aptitudes have 3 different top borders instead of having one border at the top?

If while the code is inside the if statement, that looks for the viewbag values, I add a counter. Then increment each time DimensionUsed[i] = true, I can then go outside the for loop for that portion (MentalAptitudes, Personality, or Validity) and outside of the closing div tag add a for loop like so

@if (ViewBag.MentalAptitudes)

    <div class="ss-area">

                            }
                        }
                        if (j >= lo && j <= hi)
                        {
                            if (j != st)
                            {

                            }
                            else
                            {
                            <img src="~/Images/ReportGraphics/Scoresheet/Scores/green_@(j.ToString()).png" alt="" />
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="row ss-desc">
                    <div class="names"><img src="~/Images/ReportGraphics/spacer.gif" alt="" /></div>
                    <div class="ss-scores">
                        <div class="low-score-text">
                            <img src="~/Images/ReportGraphics/Scoresheet/Desc/@DimensionLowImage[i]" alt="" />
                        </div>
                        <div class="high-score-text">
                            <img src="~/Images/ReportGraphics/Scoresheet/Desc/@DimensionHighImage[i]" alt="" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div> 
                }
        }
        </div>
        @for (int i = 0; i < z; i++)
        {<p style="padding:7px 0px;">&nbsp;</p>}
    </div> 
}

that will move the top border down for the next section but that is not a perfect cheat as it leaves a gap.

Without that, It is almost like it is seeing it all as a single large div instead of 3 different divs. Any help will be appreciated,

this is what it looks like enter image description here
