Robocopy function copying unnecessary folders when using file parameter

I am trying to figure out why my function is pulling folders within a said directory when I am only specifying a specific file to be transferred.
The folders get copied but just the folders. The files within the folders do not get transferred.
I've tried figuring this out, but just cannot quite grasp why this issue is happening. Thanks!

By the way, this only happens when trying to copy a specific file, not an entire directory.
