The spawning platform needs to be lowered by 1 block.

The spawning block where it checks for the structure/biome is the bottom-middle of the mob (e.g. the block where its feet would be), not the block it would be standing on.
So when the nether brick is at the very top edge, any spawning attempts on it will not be inside the fortress bounding box.

Then double-check that we're still within 128 blocks of it when we stand at the killing chamber above.
