I have a problem with my mesh (blend file at the bottom), I want to connect these two sides of the object so the mesh creates something like a loop.enter image description here Mesh is fine and smooth if those sides are not connected, but every time I try to connect them with "merge by distance" the lighting on "shade smooth" will break and the mesh will end up looking weird. I have no idea why is that. enter image description here My mesh is not that bad (I personally think it's clean). enter image description here I was trying to make this mesh as simple and clean as I could.

Here is my blend file.

The normals of your faces are pointing in opposite directions, possibly due to a scale by -1 ?

AltN > Recalculate Normals (outside) fixes that.
